The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VB Script to remove local printer and network printer

Asked by Trihimbulus in VB Script

Tags: VB Script

I need a script that will delete two printers on each workstation. One of the printers is a local printer named PIK 7000. With this, I also need it's associated custom port deleted which is named PIK 0. Also, I need all associated drivers removed. These drivers are primarily located in the below locations:

del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\ka*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\ki*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\ku*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2\ka*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2\ki*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2\ku*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2\temp\ka*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2\temp\ki*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2\temp\ku*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\3\ka*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\3\ki*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\3\ku*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\3\temp\ka*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\3\temp\ki*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\3\temp\ku*.*
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\kaw2kppm.dll
del /F /Q C:\Windows\System32\kuwxppm.dll

** One side note - after deleting the files above, the driver still show up in Printers and Faxes > Server Properties > Drivers.

The other printer I need to be deleted from each workstation (in the same script) is named Plotter PIK 7000. This is a network printer and the UNC path is \\printserver\Plotter PIK 7000.

*** Side note - is there a way to target any associated drivers to be deleted?

Lastly I need the following registry key to be deleted from each workstation in this same script:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\PIKMonitor]

Let the battle Begin :)
