Removing Network printers with VBScript

Another easy one for you… if you should ever need to remove network printers that are installed on a machine… this is a great way to do so! batch it out, convert it to an executable.. it’s just a great tool!

‘Start Script

Dim net
Set net = CreateObject(“WScript.Network”)
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection “
\\Server\PrintShare0

net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection “\\Server\PrintShare1
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection “
\\Server\PrintShare2
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection “
\\Server\PrintShare3
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection “
\\Server\PrintShare4
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection “
\\Server\PrintShare5
net.SetDefaultPrinter “\\Server\PrintShare3

‘End Script

As always, you must use the visual basic script extention.

Copy the above, paste into a notepad, and save the file as whateveryouwant.vbs

    Might there be an error in this script. This is identically the same script as the one for adding the network printers. Do you know a way to remove all previously installed network printers without any information on what printers are installed on a machine?
