#30838 - 2002-10-17 01:48 PM Need help adding a printer by computer name.
Brian Barnaba Brian Barnaba Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-11 Posts: 5	I need some help with the proper syntax for adding printers based on computer names. I work in a school and we use latop carts. We have six carts and a printer for every two carts. The computers are labeled by cart for example "es2lt1" is an elementary school laptop on cart two and is the first laptop on the cart. Each printer is designated to a specific two carts. My question is this. Is there a way to use the @WKSTA to add a printer to computers with the first three letters 'es3','es2',ect. Any help would be appreciated.
