in WMI/VBScript, how can I add a printer to a computer where the printer is located at a given IP Address?
What are the steps required to do this?

Please bare in mind.... I do not wish to use command line tools or anything, but only need to use the WMI Classes.

Thanks

1. Read the "Read me first post"

2. Use the search function.

3. Look for the AddWindowsPrinterConnection function

4. Welcome to the forums..

You get help with scripts here, you dont get scripts written for you.

I do understand that but I just don't know where to go.

the addprinterconnection function in WMI is not what I need... that will only work for shared printers on the network but I am looking for an IP Based printer.

so a printer maybe connected to a DHCP server which issues it an IP Address.
Like in Windows/Add new printer, you can add a TCP/IP based printer. I can create the port fine but how do I then add the IP printer ?
