StarwarsKid StarwarsKid Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2005-06-15 Posts: 506 Loc: Oregon, USA	I know this is an easy question for most here: How do I delete a print queue? I am moving the management of a network printer from one print server to another. My current script for assigning a printer is as follows: Code: IF @UserID = "FDUser" If AddPrinterConnection ("\\printsvr1\FDUpstairsEMS") = 0 ? "Added printer connection...." EndIf EndIf I would like to replace the "\\printsvr1\FDUpstairsEMS" with "\\printsvr2\FDUpstairsEMS" Thank you kindly $\:\)$ _________________________ let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance- Proverbs 1:5

I used primapstate along with addprinterconnection and delprinterconnection

Here is an example:

Code:

? "Adding Printers"
if not primapstate("\\server1\draft")
  $rc=addprinterconnection("\\server1\draft")
endif
if not primapstate("\\server1\bond")
  $rc=addprinterconnection("\\server1\bond")
endif

? "Removing Old Printers"
if primapstate("\\server1\letters")
  $RC=delprinterconnection("\\server1\letters")
endif
if primapstate("\\server1\documents")
  $RC=delprinterconnection("\\server1\documents")
endif
if primapstate("\\server\hpletters")
  $RC=delprinterconnection("\\server\hpletters")
endif
if primapstate("\\server\hpdocuments")
  $RC=delprinterconnection("\\server\hpdocuments")
endif
if primapstate("\\server\lmdocuments")
  $RC=delprinterconnection("\\server\lmdocuments")
endif
