#33704 - 2002-11-30 12:18 AM Problems with AddPrinterConnection
Grasshopper Grasshopper Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-11-29 Posts: 15 Loc: London, UK	We have recently renamed and moved our printers from an old NT print server to a W2K print server and are having problems with our test script to reconnect users to the new printers. We are currently using the con2prt utility from the NT4 resource kit but have found this to be very slow, since testing kix with addprinterconnection it seems to be twice as slow. It seems it downloads the driver everytime I log on and with 20 somethimg printers can take up to 15 minutes to process the login script. We have a mixed environment of NT and XP Professional machines and I am currently running the test script on my XP machine. Any suggestions of a way to speed things up ?? Also looking at a way for the user to define their own newly named default printer rather than one printer we allocate to them, I would like to do a kixform or something but like I say I am new to kix and have no idea at this stage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Grasshopper. _________________________ Just Another Aussie on Tour !

I routinely log in with 10-12 connected printers and do not have any kind of slow-down. You might want to put timers into yoru script to see where it slows down. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
