clients all work on XP machines,and we do direct IP printing. Setting up a print server is not an option I want the script to add the IP port, driver, and printer object. If the machine already has the driver it works fine but if not, I get the same error message: Line 34; char 1; error: Generic failure; code 80041001; source SWbemObjectEx
here is my script where am i going wrong?
