code:

---

if ingroup("group1")<>0
  $retcode=addprinterconnection("\\server\printer")
endif

---

This will install the printer drivers automatically in Windows NT/2000. There is no way to automatically update printer drivers under Windows 9x. The drivers must be installed manually. I remember that there was an attempt to do this with Kixtart and a lot of SENDKEYS() commands but I don't know if the solution worked reliably.

ADDPRINTERCONNECTION()
DELPRINTERCONNECTION()
SETDEFAULTPRINTER()

There are also example code fragments for these commands.

Although a question regarding commands I thought you may be aware of some variations of codes, like with the "use" command with /del switch using wildcards to delete known map drives. I was wondering if they are possible through the delprinterconnection? Maybe a function command compiled somewhere in this board to do such a task...I'll see if I can find some. This is probably a stupid question that i hope you can answer, thanks a bunch.

This is the only way it's gonna work under Win9x.

code:

---

$=DelPrinterConnection("")
