VBScript to ping printer then send a test page
Hi all
I don't know if this is even possible but will ask anyways.
Does anyone know if it is at all possible to have a list of IP addresses of printers have a script ping the printer and when there is a reply send a test page to a printer ? Or does any one have suggestions on what can be done.
Thanks all

I don't know if all network printers respond to 'ping' but I just checked my HP Laserjet and it does. There is no requirement for them to do that so you should probably check them individually before relying on that methods.

Thanks Dave, much appreciated. All of our Network printers respond to ping.
Still working on it but I may have to seperate them into two separate scripts. And run them that way.

Good, now you know part of it will work. I tend to develop things 1 step at a time myself. Make it easier to figure things out, at least for me.
