Im trying to do this on the client. I want to present them with a list of their printers and have them select which one they want as a default.

Are you trying to set a default printer on the server or on the client? Presumably, your CFX custom tag lists printers on the server, not the client. You could run the VBScript code you posted from a command shell using CFEXECUTE, or adapt the code somewhat to make it available as a WSH COM object, although I've had limited success in using Windows Script from CFMX to control printers and would try to avoid doing that if I could. Instead, you could simply track the printer choice that the user made and force server print jobs to use that printer within your own code. Finally, keep in mind that the server will only be able to have one default printer, so if one user changes it to printer A and another changes it to printer B, someone's going to be disappointed.
