Deploying printer through VBScript used by GPO

Hi there everyone
I need to deploy printers on a windows 7 machine through Group Policy. In the past a GPO has run a .vbs script that installs the printer including it's name, port, drivers (with location on server of those drivers).
Recently it seems this script has gone missing, and I need to create a new one. So in group policy, when adding a logon or starup script, how do I format the parameters and how do I pass them into the script?

Hi,
>>Recently it seems this script has gone missing, and I need to create a new one. So in group policy, when adding a logon or starup script, how do I format the parameters
and how do I pass them into the script?
Regarding this point, in order to get better help, we can ask for assistance in the following scripting forum.
The Official Scripting Guys Forum
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/home?forum=ITCG
However, instead of scripts, we can use Group Policy Preferences Printers extension to deploy printers.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to as reference.

  • Powershell Edit GPO deploy Printer

    Hi Guys,
    I tried to make Powershell script with GUI to add printers to print server. I would like that my super user just write new printer name and IP adresse in textbox and script suppose to add printer to printer server, create new ADGroupe to each
    printer (name of groupe = printer name), create GPO to each AD Groupe (GPO name = <Printer name>64bit)with premissions level assign to the AD group.
    Everything is working fine, script is adding printer, adding port for the printer, creating AD Group, creating (empty) GPO, i don´t know how to edit gpo via powershell and deploy printer to the AD Group.
    Have you got any suggetions?
    to make a GUI i followed this guide:

    Print Manager does all of that and is already installed in Windows.  Why do you want to recreate it?  It sets up the printers and the GPO for assigning the printers.

    Hi,
    Printer Group Policy Preference is exist in both Computer Configuration and user Configuration, and have three kinds of printers to deploy: TCP/IP Printer, Local Printer, and Shared Printer.

  • How do I set up the system to print 4x6 labels via paypal and ebay using a DYMO 4XL Thermal Label Printer (through airport)?

    We bought a DYMO Label Writer 4XL. We want to print thermal labels from our Mac and PC, wireless. The good thing is that I already have the printer set in the network and added on each of our computers (Mac and Windows 8). For printing regular labels you can use the Dymo software; for printing postage labels from ebay or paypal has been impossible.
    From ebay I even tried one label at the time but still did not work.  I sent the the print command from the mac-print-window, changing each of the settings (such as paper size) but did not work. Each time (no matter if you want to print one label only) it advances more than one lable.
    http://community.ebay.com/t5/Miscellaneous/Using-a-thermal-printer-for-eBay-labe ls-using-a-Mac/qaq-p/3135261 (post by stormshock)
    Through Paypal is a different story. It should be easy cause it seems the Zebra Driver in Paypal works with this DYMO. The issue is how to get the system to send the print command to the DYMO printer through the Zebra LP2488? please help! I know some people have succeded making all these work. What am I missing?

    To whomever is reading this post I just wanted to let you know I returned the Dymo 4XL. Their customer service is horrible. Technical support does not exist at all. The issue was extremely frustrating and time consuming. I do not recommend this thermal printer at all. Good luck finding one... if you do, please share.

  • Can't print through Time Capsule using Windows-operating computers

    I've just bought a time capsule 500GB and it's working fine. It backups my macbook every hour and I can easily print whatever file I want through my Canon iP1800 series, which is connect to WAN port of my time capsule.
    However, I have others 2 notebooks running windows, and I can't print from them wirelessly. I've installed the airport utility and Bonjour in both computers using the CD that came with my time capsule and I followed these instructions of an old topic here (_but it didn't work out_):
    “1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
    2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
    3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
    should be off), click next.
    4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
    5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
    6. For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
    Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.”
    Do someone have any idea to tell me what's happening? How can I fix this problem and have Mac and Windows laptops printing through my time capsule?
    Thanks

    When you installed bonjour did the Bonjour Print Wizard appear on your desktop? Or in the program menu?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3052?viewlocale=en_US
    In my personal experience Bonjour sometimes doesn't install properly and doesn't appear on either the desktop or program menu, particularly if it is installed at the same time as another piece of apple software. Each of the times this happened I removed bonjour, using Windows Setup:Add/Remove programs, and then downloaded it again individually.
    If you have the same experience as me you'll then be asked if you want to install a shortcut to the printer wizard. The wizard has done the trick for me. I've not yet had to resort to the rather more complicated "add new printer" route.

    Hi Shakeel,
    I am already having customised page format .

  • Using Intermec printers to print through LabVIEW

    Hi! I would like to call my Intermec label printer to print through LabVIEW over the serial connection (RS-232 port) but I have no idea on how to start. Anyone has any suggestions or examples that I can refer to ?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    YuanGe

    Hi Smercurio,
    Thanks for the reply. I only have some example programs which were written using Visual Basic 6.0 as reference. I do have the Intermec Programming Language(IPL) Guide also.
    I had tried to do some callings to the printer using the commands from the IPL Guide, but it seems that the printer doesn't respond to anything at all. I am using the  basic_serial_write_and_read.vi to do some serial programming with the printer and LabVIEW but to no avail. Every command that I tried to input, the read control returns exactly what I had input, which probably shows that it is not working as I hope it is.
    I had used LabVIEW for my final year project during my university days, but it had nothing to do with serial connection/communication, so you can say I am a greenhorn in this area.
    Attached is the VI that I used to do the calling and the IPL Guide.
    Many thanks!

  • Can't print through Time Capsule, but I can using USB to my MacBook

    I posted something similar in the Time Capsule forum, but thought I'd try here too. I just got a new Canon MF4690, and I can print to it using USB from my MacBook just fine. Not so when printing wirelessly through Time Capsule. I can see the printer, but the job stops every time. When I set up the printer the driver is "generic" using the Time Capsule connection, but has the specific model number when I add the printer using USB.
    I can see the printer in the Printer preference pane, and in Airport Utility, but when I print a job, under "status", it says "stopped". I'm baffled that this is happening! I hope someone can help.

    Joe P. wrote:
    Would I connect my Canon to the TC and set up the printer? Do I choose IP, AppleTalk or Other?
    If the TC is providing the wireless access and is your only Ethernet hub, then yes you would connect directly to it. If you have another Ethernet hub connected to the TC, then you could connect the Canon to it. Either way, you want to use the Ethernet connection of the Canon and set a valid ip address in it.
    With an ip address set, you can then add the printer by using the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) menu. This window lets you enter the ip address of the Canon and a queue name of LP. Then when you press okay, the UFR2 software should select the correct driver for your printer.

  • Deploying JRE through GPO with MSI uninstalls instead of installing

    I am trying to deploy JRE 6 Update 19 via GPO using the MSI. It installs properly on systems that either do not have JRE installed or a previous version. However, any systems that already have Update 19 on them from a previous manual install end up getting uninstalled by the GPO. The system is then left thinking that it has Update 19 installed properly, but does not. Basically what happens is the installer starts, determines that "this software has already been installed on your computer" and proceeds to "reinstall it". So it removes the first installation, windows "configures" Java, and then when it finishes uninstalling, it simply quits instead of continuing on to actually perform the installation again. At this point, the GPO believes it has been successfully applied to the workstation, and will not attempt to re-install itself on any subsequent reboots. How can I keep this from happening?
    As a sidenote, any systems that have a later Update (20, 21, or 22) that were installed manually will just ignore the policy installation as it determines it to be an "older" version. Is there any way to force the uninstall of the newer version and install the policy Update 19 version?
    Thanks!

The system is then left thinking that it has Update 19 installed properly, but does not. Basically what happens is the installer starts, determines that "this software has already been installed on your computer" and proceeds to "reinstall it". So it removes the first installation, windows "configures" Java, and then when it finishes uninstalling, it simply quits instead of continuing on to actually perform the installation again. At this point, the GPO believes it has been successfully applied to the workstation, and will not attempt to re-install itself on any subsequent reboots. How can I keep this from happening?
    As a sidenote, any systems that have a later Update (20, 21, or 22) that were installed manually will just ignore the policy installation as it determines it to be an "older" version. Is there any way to force the uninstall of the newer version and install the policy Update 19 version?
    Thanks!

    Hi Bishelp,
    Firstly, please check the security tab of that printer, make sure your user account has access permission for it.
    To perform these procedures of deploy printer connections, you must be a member of the local Administrators group and have write access to Group Policy objects (GPOs) in the AD DS domain or the organizational unit (OU) to which you want to deploy printer
    connections. For more information please refer to following MS articles:

    In addition, it would be helpful if you could help to collect the following information:
