Scripting Printer Installation Problems

Asked by Powerhousecomputing in Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2000 Operating System, Scripting Languages

Using Windows 2003 Server with about 30 Win2K clients. I have recently rearranged printers and wanted to uninstall the old ones and use a script to install the new ones. (same printer and driver just different share names/IP's.) Here is the script i used to give an idea ;

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\server\Konica#2BW"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n "\\server\Konica#2BW"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\server\Konica#2Colo"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\server\Konica#1BW"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n "\\server\Konica#1Colo"

this works for anyone with enough permissions on the local machine to add printers. Since any user could use any computer i cant realistically go around adding all users as local administrators to every computer. How can i give all users i need permission to add printers without adding them to a group like power users/administrators? - Help i am stuckStart Free Trial
