PART 1 ------  Here is a Script that I use to install printers on windows Xp machines - IF I run the script on the windows 7 Machine I get the error (scriptname.vbs(28, 1) SWbe mObjectEx:Generic failure), If i use this script and run it from the command line I get the same message. If i run the script a few times the printer will eventually install. for windows 7 Machines. What do I Need to change ????

Part 2 - Secondly I would like to have users run this script. How do i change the script to run as domain\user    password with the credentials been seen?

Windows 7 has 32-bit versions of wscript.exe, cscript.exe, regsvr32.exe, etc in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64.  Try running the script explicitly using C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wscript.exe

Please close with the following, I was assigned other projects that took me away from this one. I had resolved the issue by 1st coping down a copy of the PSExec Utility and then a copy of the script file down to the PC's,  That enabled me to run the following batch file and run the script withour Error. "psexec -accepteula -i -u Domain\username -p password cmd /c "c:\canon\test.vbs" -accepteula"

I had to create a separate script file for each printer/location
