Using EMI for remote printer info |
|
|
Howdy all. I used Scriptomatic to create a script that will show me all about
printers installed on a machine using WMI. The script works on my machine,
but when I try to use it on another workstation on my enterprise, I only get
information about 'software' printers on the machine and not the network
printers they have attached to them. Again, I can see the network printers
when I run it on mine, but not on theirs (by putting in their machine name in
place of the . for the strComputer name while running the script on my
computer.)
Remote servers actually show correct information. It appears to be just
workstations that are not working.
Any ideas on how I can correctly get the data from the 'remote' workstations?
Thanks, here's a snipet from the Scriptomatic:
On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Printer",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.Name
Wscript.Echo "DriverName: " & objItem.DriverName
Wscript.Echo "ShareName: " & objItem.ShareName
Next
If it matters, it is failing on remote machines using Windows 2000 up to SP4
AND Windows XP SP1 and 2.

Sorry, that should be WMI not EMI.

From the results you describe, I get the impression that you're
getting the printers that are installed on the computer, not the ones
that are connected.
You may have to use a different WMI-object to get the desired results.
