That can definitely be done. Just as a start you could do something like

Code:

if left(@wksta,2) = 'FI'
  ; Finance Printer
endif


And i know a lot of people base their printer mapping off of ini files, so you could step it up a notch and have an ini file like maybe

Printers.ini
Code:

[FI]
DefaultPrinter=TheFinancePrinter
SecondaryPrinter=ABackupPrinterMaybe
[EN]
DefaultPrinter=TheEngineeringPrinter
SecondaryPrinter=TheirBackupPrinter


And then in your script something like

Code:

$dept = left(@wksta,2)
$defPrinter = readprofilestring("PathToIni",$dept,"DefaultPrinter")
$secPrinter = readprofilestring("PathToIni",$dept,"SecondaryPrinter")


I'm sure others here can provide more (better?) suggestions...



maciep,

I have a question about your script:

You identify $defPrinter as readprofilestring("PathToIni",$dept,"DefaultPrinter").

Would I then use the $defPrinter variable like this:
Code:
 ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("$defPrinter")
