Remove Local Printer

[neerajgandhi]

I need to know if we can remove local printer using vbscript,

removeprinterconnection is not working to delete local printer,

It says network connection nnot found,

upgraded wsh 5.6, stil the same

also if you know of haking the registry to delete this local printer

to delete a registry entry, use the "RegDelete" method of Wshell object. Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)

 

[neerajgandhi]

you know which registry entry for local printer,
I've tried to delete any entry I found for this local printer and the printer still exists

Have a look at technet scripting, has examples of deleting printers by name port etc
