Web based printer install 1

[gumbald]

I am trying to create a web based interface in order that users can choose a printer and it can be installed. This is to be implemented in a school with many, many printers. However, I have the function:

<script language="VBScript" type="text/vbscript">
<!--'
Sub MapPrinter()
Dim netPrinter, UNCpath
UNCpath = "\\casper\HPLaserJet4"
Set netPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
netPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection UNCpath
'-->
</script>

This produces the following when the page is accessed:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'MapPrinter'
/Printers/index.asp, line 25

Any thoughts?

Thanks, that worked instantly!

Just got to work out which way is best to divide up all the printers, then learn how to implement it..

I'll report back with any HTML problems in the appropriate forum
