Does anyone know if you can add printers to Windows through VB?

Thanks in advance.

Why do you want this. Since Windows 98/2000 are plug and play OS. They will add printer automatically when you start your machine or restart it.

I need to add networked printers on the fly. They will select where a document needs to be printed and I will send it to the correct printer, but in order to do that I need to install it first. I don't want to install every networked printer on each machine.
