DOS question

[XTC]

I want to send printer paths i.e \\servername\printername to a text file. i can do this for drive mapping i.e net use > c:\mappings.txt can I do this for printers?

 

[angusglover]

Yes.

 

[XTC]

Yes.

And that would be how?

Only if you map to an LPT port will it work. Net use will display mappings, and as most printers these days are not mapped...they are via IP / unc

PSTools might do it though: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/PsTools.mspx

Use this script

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections

For i = 0 to oPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
WScript.Echo "Port " & oPrinters.Item(i) & " = " & oPrinters.Item(i+1)

Save to a text file e.g. ptrt.vbs then run

cscript prt.vbs >ptr.txt
