If the printer has an IP address, you can connect to it by creating a Standard TCP/IP port

It would be good if we had some more details on the network, the PC setup, etc...

Hi,

As this is a regular activity i was woundering if some script can do it.

The machine are set to take the Dhcp ip from out network.

Say if you get your laptops to my network.You will have no permissions on the network .Then how can i connect such laptop to the printer...

If you have permission to add a local printer, then you can add it with a Standard TCP/IP port. It can be done via a script, but only if you have permissions to add a local printer.

Note that the printer should have a static address. A DHCP address will eventually change (unless special measures are taken); when that happens you will stop printing.

Network printer has a static ip assigned.

In the script we should have an option to assign credentials if required.
Can i have a script for this...
