Printer Check Logon Script
|
Hi,
I am very new to Kix scripts and just wondered if it was possible to have a script that can run on logon and check what printers are mapped on the PC and then export that information to a text file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Ben

There is PrinterList, EnumPrinterConnections and EnumPrinterConnections2 in the UDF library. Would they be of any help?

Click "UDF Library"
Click "Search" (on top)
Type in some search words and change options if needed
Click "Submit"

no, udf's are user defined functions.
they work just as kixtart functions (at least theoretically)...
as example, open() is a function.
it does not export anything to file, it just opens the file.
same goes with that udf.
it returns you the list of printers and if you want to place the data to a file, write couple of lines of script with open(), writeline() and close() to do the actual exporting.

OK thanks for the info. I will post a new topic asking how to create, open, import the variable details and close a text file as I dont want this one to go off topice.
Many thanks for your help

Code:
If NOT @LOGONMODE
Break On
Else
Break Off
EndIf
Dim $RC
$RC = SetOption("Explicit","On")
$RC = SetOption("NoVarsInStrings","On")
$RC = SetOption("NoMacrosInStrings","On")
$RC = SetOption("WrapAtEOL","On")
Dim $aPrinters, $Printer, $Handle1, $File1
$aPrinters = EnumPrinterConnections2()
$Handle1 = FreeFileHandle()
$File1 = @SCRIPTDIR + "\" + Left(@SCRIPTNAME,Len(@SCRIPTNAME)-4) + ".txt"
If Open($Handle1,$File1,5) = 0
For Each $Printer in $aPrinters
$RC = WriteLine($Handle1,$Printer + @CRLF)
Next
$RC = Close($Handle1)
Else
? "Error opening or creating file: " + $File1
? "Error " + @ERROR + ": " + @SERROR
EndIf

Cool thanks for the code. I ran that and it just created an empty text file yet I have 2 mapped network printers. Any ideas?
I do appreciate all your help with this.

Re: Printer Check Logon Script

Did you copy/paste the UDF into the test script?

Re: Printer Check Logon Script

You could also include the UDF and store it in a different file
Code:
Include = "\\Servername\Sharename\EnumPrinterConnections2.udf"

I was being a muppet and forgot to link in the UDF bit. Works like a treat now - thank you VERY much for all your help!

Re: Printer Check Logon Script

One last and very cheeky question, is there a way to make the exported text file the same name as the PC name? ie PC Name = ID1234 would create ID1234.txt
????
