I have a script that assigns printers to the workstations... it seems to be working fine when connecting printers to windows xp workstations, but not with windows vista.

I've tried a few combination's but either have no connection or it asks to install printer driver at logon but the printer still doesn't appear.

Code:
' Read security group membership
adsDomainGroups.Filter = Array("Group")
For Each adsGroup in adsDomainGroups
 Group = UCase(adsgroup.name)

UserName = UCase(WshNetwork.UserName)
server = "\\server" 'Change to match the users server

 If group = UCASE("staff") Then CheckGroup adsgroup.name, Username, home, server & "\staff$\" & UserName, "staff"
 Next
' Maps network drives
    WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "x:", server & "\shared"
    WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "s:", server & "\software"
    WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "y:", server & "\Childrens Shared"
[B]
' Adds classroom printers
        PrinterPath1 = server & "\ICT Suite"
        PrinterDriver1 = "Generic 35C-4 Series PS"
        Wshnetwork.addwindowsprinterconnection Printerpath1, Printerdriver1
        Wshnetwork.setdefaultprinter server & "\ICT Suite"[/B]
 
are the printer drivers compatible with Vista? Can you add the printers manually while logged in as the user?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
