Hello,
I need to create a installer that can make a printer connection for me (Start > Settings>Printers>Add Printer )
The drivers are already installed. What I need to do to create a new printer port that uses those drivers. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Hi
You can use the prnadmin.dll included in the Windows 2000 resource kit. Follow this link for a completely documented VBScript to install printer programmatically using prnadmin.dll.

Thanks Neo!
That worked great. Just wondering, is there another method that is not platform dependent? or would i have to write custom code for each operating system?
Thanks,
