Hey all,
Long time listener, first time caller...
I am using the UDF AddPrinter() but when the script runs it seems to fail at the printer driver section? At least I think it does...
I receive a windows error "The Specified Port is Unknown"
Has anyone run into this before with the AddPrinter UDF? I tried searching the forums but didn't find anyone else with the same issue.
We're trying to eliminate print servers in our environment and add the printers by IP instead.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Allen,
Thanks again for your time.
Windows 7 Pro 64 - Bit. Windows Server 2012 R2.
KIX: 4.53
Ricoh MPC 5503 printer.
Here is the snippet of code (I was trying locally as I thought maybe it was an access permissions issue before):
ADDPRINTER("10.8.8.22","PCL6 Driver for Universal Print","C:\Users\tjones\Downloads\z76358L17\64bit\oemsetup.inf","Ricoh 5503 LAB")
? "Trying to add by IP... "@error
Here is the OEMsetup.inf file I was trying to reference (I assumed printername would be DRVName but maybe this is where my issue lies?):

Hey Allen,
No worries at all, I really appreciate you taking a boo.
The port unknown is a GUI displayed error. I ran a hotfix that MS suggested (I figured maybe we had locked down our machines to the point they were missing a piece) but the error persists.
Perhaps I should try using a printer specific driver instead of the UPD?
The error code returns a 0

The user is an admin.
Update - If I have the printer added by IP already (I did it with VBS just to test a different method) then my kiXtart logon script will run no problem and add the printer without issue.
So it makes me think creating the port is failing?

So strange! If I run CMD as admin then run the script it works. If I right click, run logon.bat as admin - fails!
I was able to run it as admin for the dozen machines out there (rather than fight with using elevate)
Thanks again Allen - you rock!
