<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We are changing out our main printer with a new model completely and I would like to write a script to change the default printer to the new printer only if the printer that is being swapping out is set as their default printer. &nbsp;We have about 6 or 7 printers, but the main one is going and not everyone has that set to as their default. &nbsp;The printer will be installed on our print server that is running server 2003. &nbsp;Currently, we have one main login script and I was planning on just putting a string in there to map the new printer, but once the old one is gone I'm going to see all kinds of IT tickets wanting to know where their default printer went! &nbsp;I'd like to avoid this if I can!!

Printer swap with script.. help!

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
