Can IPP based printers be added to networked client machine using a VB script? Evryone is using WIN2K.

I run a Netware network and want to drop all of the Netware queues and am not particulary interested in NDPS.

I have named the printers in DNS and everything works like a champ on the clients, but so far I've had to touch every client. Since I have over 180 client PC's, I'd like to automate this process.

Anything will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

you could try this

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
PrinterPath = "IP Address of Printer or printer name"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath

I haven't tried this with an IP address only using the queue name
