ADDPRINTERCONNECTION does not work
|
Hi all,
i have a problem with the ADDPRINTERCONNECTION command. I wanna map 2 Printers to a special group. Can someone post me the code here? I´ve tested so many codes but nothing works. How does it work to get an error when the connection to the printer is failed?
PS: Sorry for my bad english but i´m from germany
Best wishes

Code:
;Script Options
If NOT @LOGONMODE
Break On
EndIf
Dim $RC
$RC=SetOption("Explicit", "On")
$RC=SetOption("NoMacrosInStrings", "On")
$RC=SetOption("NoVarsInStrings", "On")
$RC=SetOption("WrapAtEOL", "On")
;Map Printer
If InGroup("GroupName")
$RC = AddPrinterConnection("\\Servername\PrinterShareName")
EndIf

I've amended Witto's code so that it returns an error if the mapping fails:
Code:
;Script Options
If NOT @LOGONMODE
Break On
EndIf
Dim $RC
$RC=SetOption("Explicit", "On")
$RC=SetOption("NoMacrosInStrings", "On")
$RC=SetOption("NoVarsInStrings", "On")
$RC=SetOption("WrapAtEOL", "On")
Dim $sPrintServer $sPrintServer="ServerName"
Dim $sPrinterName $sPrinterName="PrinterName"
;Map Printer
If InGroup("GroupName")
$RC = AddPrinterConnection("\\"+$sPrintServer+"\"+$sPrinterName)
If @ERROR "ERROR: Cannot map printer "+$sPrinterName+" on "+$sPrintServer+" Reason: ["+@ERROR+"] "+@SERROR+@CRLF EndIf
EndIfMake sure that the printer name and the share name are identical on the print server, otherwise it will cause you problems.

I do not get this one. Printers added with "AddPrinterConnection()" are added per user, not per computer.
DelPrinterConnection()

Re: ADDPRINTERCONNECTION does not work

Some users without any dedicated printers get without any reason some printers from another group.
Excample: Group xy get the Printer HP Laserjet 5
Group ab get no Printer
If any user frome group ab is registrated he get without any reason
dedicated one printer from group xy
Hope you understand me right
Sorry 4 my bad english

There is always a reason. I don't understand it.
