Printer Driver is Unknown

[joe_gan]

Hi,

I wonder why this code produce "Printer Driver is Unknown"

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\Poaabc01\prnne04"
PrinterDriver = "HP LaserJet 5P/5MP PostScript"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver

Check on the document, it say the printer driver must be installed first. I checked and found the driver is in my Printer Driver List, but still the system unrecognize it. It is OK if I manually add one network printer with the said printer driver before run the above script.

Can any one guide me?

Regards
Joe

Try reversing PrinterPath and PrinterDriver.

WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterDriver, PrinterPath

Its looking at the PrinterPath as the driver. Hope this helps.
