Setting default printer

[zahead31]

I am using a vbs script to set the default printer. I am using the following code:

set wshnetwork = createobject("wscript.network")
wshnetwork.setdefaultprinter "\\server\printername"

This works for every printer except one. I am unsure why I am unable to set this one specific printer as the default printer on any CPU on my network. Please help!

Could you show all of your code? What specifically does not work? Is there an error message? If so, what is the error? Do you use On Error Resume Next in your script? If so, do you get an error when you comment it out? If you do, what is the error?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Those 2 lines are all the code. The error message that pops up states "There is no printer called 'Lexmark C510'"

I do not have an On Error Resume Next statement in the script.

My apologies for my ignorance - I am not a programmer by any means. I just have enough working knowledge of some computer languages to figure simple scripts on my own.

Thanks again

And you are absolutely certain that you are giving the correct server and printer name?

I am positive

And obviously this printer is defined in the local PC ?

Hope This Helps, PH.
