How to add a local serial printer with vbscript

For a new application that we are rolling out I need to add several printers to about 100 Windows XP workstations.  Two of them are network printers and fairly easy to add using vbscript.  The one I am having problems with is a locally attached serial printer.  I am not really sure where to start for creating the port.  I need it to use COM1 (4800, 8, none, 1) with the Generic / Text Only driver.  Any ideas how to get started on this?

For future wonderers:
Cscript %WINDIR%\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\Prnmngr.vbs -a -p "COM PRINTER" -m "Generic / Text Only" -r COM1:

    How do I do double sided printing with eprint?  Why is there no option to change it online?  I have
    HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium

    Hi,
    Automatic Two-Sided printing is not currently supported by the ePrint Service, as you may find any of the service capabilities and limitations listed below:
    Duplexing (printing on both sides of the page) is not supported.

  • How do i install a new printer with no dvd?

    how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

    Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
    What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

    I try to automate my printing procedure in photoshop. The problem is that I don't know how to select the printer and select the icc profile for printing with vbscript like I manually do in the print-menu in photoshop?

    Client/Server version:
    - D2KWUTIL.PLL library provides a 'Select Printer' dialog box to be used in Forms: WIN_API_DIALOG.SELECT_PRINTER

  • How can I share a laser printer with a windows laptop.

    How can I share a laser printer with a windows laptop. I can't install software or drivers on the laptop for a USB switch box, but the printer drivers are already installed.
    It is a work laptop and printer. There is no WiFi to the laptop, just USB.
    Is there a USB switch box that does not need any drivers?
    Thanks
    Julie

    Hi
    Thanks.
    I am not able to install any drivers or software on the work laptop and WiFi is not allowed either.
    Currently I am swapping cables, but it means crawling under the desk and is a bit of a pain.
    I was hoping that there would be a switch box that does not require drivers.
    Crawling and banging my head it is, then!

  • How can I do 2 sided printing with eprint?

    I have a printer that can do 2 sided printing, but when I document prints using eprint.  It is only printing single sided which is a waste of paper.  How can I fix eprint to autoprint using 2 sided printing?

    Hey Gamalielle!
    Currently there isn't a way to duplex (2-sided) print with ePrint. But just so you know, you aren't the first customer that has suggested we add that as a feature to ePrint. HP is always looking for suggestions to improve our ePrint services and this may get added in the future.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • How to add a locally stored video file to a presentation

    Hi all ,
    I want to add a locally stored video file to a presentation .What is the url that i need to use..
    Ur help is much appreciated
    Thanks

    The recommended procedure is to create the presentation on the DMM (upload the video to the DMM) then create a deployment package using the presentation created on the DMM. Once you deploy it to the DMP, the DMM will FTP the video along with presentation files to the DMP which will contain the links to play the video that will be stored locally on the DMP.
    You may want to review the following thread to see how to trigger the local presentation to play and how to update it later:

  • How to use AE for wireless printing with Ethernet Printer?

    Hi all,
    I have been using my AE connected to a printer via USB for printing but have now replaced my printer with another model that only has Ethernet connections.
    Can someone please explain how to set up the AE so that I can print? I can get so far but seem to be doing something wrong somewhere. Here's my setup:
    Mix of Macs and PC's using Airport Time Capsule for wireless network. Currently setup as 'Create a Wireless Network'
    1 x b/g Airport Express - now with Ethernet connection between AE and Printer. Currently connected as 'Join a Wireless Network'
    Via 'Add Printer' I have selected 'Internet Printing Protocol - IPP' as the Protocol and added the IP address of the Airport Express '10.0.1.10' as the Address. This seems to connect OK but all I get is printer paused.
    Any idea where I am going wrong please?
    Many thanks, Mike

    Sorry you are having difficulties.
    Suggest that you first get the printer working with your AirPort Extreme in case the configuration on the Express may not be quite right.
    I'm not familiar with the Epson products, but I do use an HP ethernet all-in-one device.
    The basic "must do's" on the device include entering the printers MAC address and assigning a fixed IP address that the printer will always will receive using a DHCP Reservation on the AirPort Extreme. My all-in-one gets 10.0.1.25 It sounds like you may have done this.
    After installing the printer software from the disc, you go into the Mac's System Preferencesj > Print and Fax and click the small + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list. The HP printer appeared immediately as an available printer, so click it to highlight it and then click Add at the lower right. It's been flawless since it was installed about 3 months ago.
    You'll need to Add the device for each Mac computer on the network. I don't use PC's but imagine that Add Printer or Add New Device would be the way to go here.
    Sometimes it helps to call the manufacturer and endure the hold for 15-20 minutes waiting for the manufacturer's tech support people.

  • How to add GPS to an ipad2 with only wifi

    How to add GPS to wifi only iPad

    From another discussion https://discussions.apple.com/message/20077221#20077221
    "Location services depend on a database of Wi-Fi access points with known geographical positions. If the device is not within range of at least one of those access points, it can't be located." - Linc Davis
    So if your iPad is near a WiFi access point with a known geographical position, you already have reasonable GPS-based location knowledge on your iPad.

  • How can I start my Kodak printer with this iPad?

    How can I connect iPad to printer? Could you please help me.

    Look on Kodak's site. They have several options with Google Docs to enable you to print. The exact capabilities vary from model to model.
    Also, you can use third party apps. I have print n share and it works just fine with my Kodak printer, but there's also printopia and print central and more I'm sure.

  • OSS note fo How to... Web Printing with Microsoft Excel

    Hi BW Gurus,
                          I have documentation, transport request # K903271.QB8  &  R903271.QB8 for Web Printing with MC Excel.  But basis guy he want OSS note #, so that he can import requests.
                          How to find the OSS note related to transport req. I already searched in SDN, and market place but no luck. Please some give me the OSS note.
    Thanks
    Ganesh Reddy.

    Hi,
    Just to give you some information on transport,
    Once the objects are collected in the TR, you need to release the task and then the Main request (TR) in DEV.
    In QA, Go to STMS, Go to Transport icon -> select you system -> Select you requests -> Then click on the truck icon it will prompt for you target client -> go to 3rd tab and then give your options (most of the cases , it is overwrite mode). Then click "OK", they will be imported.
    Note :STMS is used to perform the actual migration of the transport from the source system to the target system but in se09/10 you can only release the transports not perform the actual migration
    And only released transports will show up in STMS queue
    I dont know what is the OSS note your basis guys are talking about.
    may be it is specific to the documentation transport. Please check with them clearly.
    hope this helps
    Cheers,
    Srinath
