Printer Migration part 1

Felipe — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 07:11:33 GMT

That is the first part of the Print Migration.

After you download this script, download the next one named writeprinter.ps1

This script extract the network printers of some user.

The user must be logged on when you run the script.

I have a version in VBscript as well. If you need it send me an email.

It can be used with Automation Tools, such SCCM.

**You shoud change the path where you want the "printers.txt" file saved.

Printer Migration part 2

Felipe — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:51:12 GMT

That is the second part of the Print Migration.

This script gets all the printers which readprinter.ps1 sent to the printers.txt file and add them to All Users in some computer.

This is best when used within a Task Sequence or after Imaging a computer.

If you want to use it as part of a Logon Script change the "printui /ga" to "printui /in".

**You should change the path from where it reads the "printers.txt" to the location where the readprinter.ps1 created it.
