Printer Drivers = You will need to copy whichever ones you need -> to a “drivers” folder on the remote computer. Printer Name = Our Site – Checkin Dept – Ricoh 4002 I personally always put it in both folders, just in case.įor this entire document, I’m going to be using the following information as my example:
It’s just an exe file that you download and put in C:\Windows\System32 and/or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (On the computer you plan to do the remote administration from). The psexec program is part of the PSTools suite. Printui.dll is the executable file that contains the functions used by the printer configuration dialog boxes. Rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry -> Automates many printer configuration tasks. So these files will not need to be copied, since they will already exist on your remote computers:Ĭscript -> Starts a script so that it runs in a command-line environment. The other two commands we’ll be using are also installed by default in Windows XP & 7 in the %WINDIR%\System32 directory. Prnmngr.vbs -> Adds, deletes, and lists printers or printer connections, in addition to setting and displaying the default printer.Ĭopy all three of these scripts to a folder called "scripts". Prndrvr.vbs -> Adds, deletes, and lists printer drivers. Prnport.vbs -> Creates, deletes, and lists standard TCP/IP printer ports, in addition to displaying and changing port configuration.

The vbs scripts we’ll be using are installed by default in Windows 7 (%WINDIR%\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\), and they are as follows: We are performing all of the remote administration from Windows 7 Professional workstations to Windows XP Professional workstations. NOTES: These directions pertain to any XP Professional workstation that you are able to remotely view through Windows Explorer (ex: \\192.168.1.100\c$), but not able to remotely view/manage printers through Windows Explorer. I hope that many of you will find a very beneficial use for this! I also believe that these steps will be helpful to some of you for other reasons as well. The steps I'm about to share with you have not only enabled us to overcome these quirks, but they've also helped us be able to remotely administer printers without ever having to interupt our physicians who need to continue using the workstations.

We also are not able to install a printer through Windows Explorer because we get an access denied message (even though we have successfully authenticated to the admin share of the computer via Windows Explorer). For now, these instructions will refer to machines where no printers are shared.
Some interesting quirks we've noticed are: We can navigate to "\\workstationname\c$" without any trouble, but if we navigate to "\\workstationname\" (to see a list of shares or printers), we do not see any printers, unless at least one printer on the workstation is shared. Where I work, we have PACS workstations (running Windows XP Professional) that are owned and controlled by our vendor and are on a different subnet (which is also completely controlled by the vendor).
