I have scripted ListPrinters.vbs to return all the printers and their locations that a client has access to.
The syntax for using ListPrinters.vbs is:
cscript //nologo FolderListPrinters.vbs
The console output is in CSV format. Here is a sample:
"ScanSoft PDF Create!","""NUL","""HP Officejet 6200 series fax","""HP Officejet 6200 series","""Generic / Text Only","""File Print FedEx Kinko's","FedEx Kinko's""\JSI001HP Business Inkjet 2250 (PCL5C)","HDQ Printer Room""\JSI001ZFax","Courier"
If you wanted to process this list in a batch file, use:
for /f Token=1* Delims=," %%a in ('cscript //nologo FolderListPrinters.vbs') do ( set prt=%%a set loc=%%b . . . .)
ListPrinters.vbs contains:
strComputer = "."Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\" & strComputer & "rootcimv2")Set iPrt = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Printer")For Each objPrinter in iPrt Wscript.Echo
" &objPrinter.Name &
,
& objPrinter.Location &
"Next
