Re: Python script to install network printers
These functions should get you started and probably finished...
def createprinterport(IPAddress,ServerName):
WBEM =
win32com.client.GetObject(rwinmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\
+ ServerName + r\root\cimv2)
WBEM.Security_.Privileges.AddAsString(SeLoadDriverPrivilege)
printerport = WBEM.Get(Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort).SpawnInstance_()
printerport.Properties_('Name').Value = 'IP_'+IPAddress
printerport.Properties_('Protocol').Value = 1
printerport.Properties_('HostAddress').Value = IPAddress
printerport.Properties_('PortNumber').Value = '9100'
printerport.Properties_('SNMPEnabled').Value = 'False'
printerport.Put_()
def
createprinter(PrinterName,DriverName,Location,ShareName,IPAddress,ServerName):
WBEM =
win32com.client.GetObject(rwinmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\
+ ServerName + r\root\cimv2)
WBEM.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3
WBEM.Security_.Privileges.AddAsString(SeLoadDriverPrivilege)
printer = WBEM.Get(Win32_Printer).SpawnInstance_()
printer.Properties_('DeviceID').Value = PrinterName
printer.Properties_('DriverName').Value = DriverName
printer.Properties_('Location').Value = Location
printer.Properties_('Network').Value = 'True'
printer.Properties_('Shared').Value = 'True'
printer.Properties_('ShareName').Value = ShareName
printer.Properties_('PortName').Value = 'IP_'+IPAddress
printer.Put_()
I also created one for migrating print drivers but had loads of
problems with it. If the driver doesn't pass Microsoft logo testing
the scripts fail even if it is signed by Microsoft. I never worked out
why there were 2 levels of protection.

Python script to install network printers
Hi, I am trying to create a python script to install a set of network printers. I have had success using an os.popen statement, using rundll32 and printui.dll. This takes way too long. Can someone point me in a quicker direction? thanks, Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Python script to install network printers
You can use win32print.AddPrinterConnection(r'\\server\sharedprinter'). However, if the printer driver has to be copied to the client machine and installed, that's probably where most of the time is spent. hth Roger Matt Chan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I am trying to create a python script to install a set of network printers.
