Installing network printers automaticly

[agil]

Hi. I have to manage printers on a lot of computers that use Windows.

I am able to automatize almost everything easily, but dealing with printers is becoming impossible.

Anyone knows a script (on any language) to install a network printer?

Too easy to do this. First, set up your printers on a network print server. Then set up groups in AD. Assign users to groups. Next, use print managment in admin tools/computer management to deploy said printers to said groups. Users get printers.

Some of these printers are in other countries and don't share servers. Printers are still accesible on the internet.

To add a printer by IP address or hostname, you must be a member of the local Administrators group or be granted the Manage Server permission.
To automatically add network printers to a print server

1. Open Print Management.
2. In left pane, click Print Servers, click the applicable print server, right-click Printers, and then click Add Printer.
3. On the Printer Installation page of the Network Printer Installation Wizard, click Search the network for printers, and then click Next. If prompted, specify which driver to install for the printer.

Note: This is applicable to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 only.

If all else fails, AutoIt?
