colorbydeluxe colorbydeluxe Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-03-12 Posts: 26 Loc: Hollywood	I'm fairly new to Kixtart so go easy on me . My question is kind of a take off on another thread I was reading earlier. Here we go. I have a rather large enterprise that has multiple vlans. Each vlan is a class c. Most vlans primaraly consist of multiple workstations and a printer or two. Every printer is connected to a print server. Now for the question: Is there any way based upon the host address of the workstation (which will match the host address of the printer in that vlan) to connect all printers in that vlan to the users workstation. The workstations on the network consist primarily of Win95 machines. Thank You in advance.

As for the VLAN question, you could create a .INI file with a list of the printers per VLAN and check the subnets the printers and workstations belong to. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Then lookup the printer in an INI file (using ReadProfileString). While you have Win95 machines it is NOT impossible to add a printer. The best way (although there are a couple of dependencies/caveats), is to NET USE LPT1: \\Server\ShareOrResource. Then you could use another KIX script with SendKey commands to add a local printer with the correct driver etc.

Subnet() BinaryIP() will let you easly identify a computers subnet. code: if subnet(@ipaddress0,"10.27.100.0","255.255.255.0") = 1 ? "this computer is in the 10.27.100 subnet" endif Bryce
