We're in the process of replacing new printers in my office. We currently have around 170 users, and I need a script that will run at login, to check for old printers and if one of the old printers exists, it is deleted. <br />
<br />
We already have a login script to create the printers, which uses the &quot;objNetwork.AddWindowsPrin<wbr />terConnect<wbr />ion&quot; command. I just need one to run right before it, to delete the old printers.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

VBS Script for Deleting Printers IF they Exist.

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.
