Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	The logic is quite simple ... 1. assign the result of GetDefaultPrinter to a variable. 2. Delete all Printers 3. Reconnect printers and if there is one that matches the stored variable set it as default. That's at least what I read (sorry if I didn't follow the complete war and peace here ) Edited by Jochen (2005-02-09 04:15 PM) _________________________

I think you may be over thinking this, as you already know what you want

.. see if this will help you get in the right direction: (untested code)

Code:

 

break on



$default=GetDefaultPrinter()

? $default

$=DELPRINTERCONNECTION ($default)

? @serror

$=addprinterconnection($default)

? @serror

$=SETDEFAULTPRINTER($default)

? @serror



function GetDefaultPrinter()

    $GetDefaultPrinter = join(split(readvalue("HKEY_USERS\"+@sid+"\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows","Device"),',',1),'')

endfunction

bestia bestia Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-08-26 Posts: 36 Loc: Guildford, UK	Right Guys! This is the code I am using, kindly supplyed to me by Richard (Thanks) I have done the initial testing and is doing exacly what I need, just I don't know how to add that (getdefault)+(delprintconnection) to it ! Obviously it is calling printemap.ini files for the printers.... Code: Break ON $bDEBUG=1 CLS $sPrinterIni= @scriptdir + "\PrinterMap.ini" $iIndex=0 $iDefaultDone=0 $sGroup=EnumGroup($iIndex) While $sGroup AND Not @ERROR ; Drop domain If InStr($sGroup,"\") $sGroup=SubStr($sGroup,InStr($sGroup,"\")+1) EndIf ; Check if there is a printer map for this group If $bDEBUG Color w+/b "DEBUG: Looking for section [LOCATION "+$sGroup+"]" Color w/n ? EndIf For Each $sPrinter in Split(ReadProfileString($sPrinterIni,"LOCATION "+$sGroup,""),Chr(10)) If $sPrinter $asPrinterPair=Split(ReadProfileString($sPrinterIni,"LOCATION "+$sGroup,$sPrinter),"\|") "Mapping primary printer path "+$asPrinterPair[0] If AddPrinterConnection($asPrinterPair[0]) " " Color r+/n "FAILED" Color w/n @CRLF "Mapping alternative printer path "+$asPrinterPair[1] If AddPrinterConnection($asPrinterPair[1]) " " Color r+/n "ALSO FAILED" Color w/n @CRLF "Reason: ["+@ERROR+"] "+@SERROR+@CRLF Else " " Color g+/n "OK" Color w/n @CRLF If Not $iDefaultDone "Setting printer as default" If SetDefaultPrinter($asPrinterPair[1]) " " Color r+/n "FAILED" Color w/n @CRLF "ERROR: Could not set printer as default."+@CRLF "Reason: ["+@ERROR+"] "+@SERROR+@CRLF Else " " Color g+/n "OK" Color w/n @CRLF $iDefaultDone=1 EndIf EndIf EndIf Else " " Color g+/n "OK" Color w/n @CRLF "Setting printer as default" If Not $iDefaultDone If SetDefaultPrinter($asPrinterPair[0]) " " Color r+/n "FAILED" Color w/n @CRLF "ERROR: Could not set printer as default."+@CRLF "Reason: ["+@ERROR+"] "+@SERROR+@CRLF Else " " Color g+/n "OK" Color w/n @CRLF $iDefaultDone=1 EndIf EndIf EndIf EndIf Next $iIndex=$iIndex+1 $sGroup=EnumGroup($iIndex) Loop Exit 0

Click on "Code" and you will get the Code Tags, put your code between them "[CODE]" your code "[/CODE]" _________________________ Eric

Eh, well is really good as it is, and I will roll it out, and I do recommend it to anyone with complex printing enviroment. Thank you to everyone involved. Best regards, Bestia

You should look into the UDF Forum as there are various UDFs that deal with deleting printers and getting/setting default printers. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
