Randomly found this page trying to support the thousand XP boxes we have in our school district and was so grateful for your humor! It definitely made the job easier to trudge through as I feel the same way about our printers.

Thanks!

This was helpful and helped me quite a bit, thank you.

I have also found that, in case you need to run this script on multiple machines, you can replace the computer name with the wildcard %computername%. With this, you don’t need to rewrite the script for each computer.

This little bat file works perfectly!

Cscript %WINDIR%\System32\prnmngr.vbs -d -p “Microsoft Office Document Image Writer”
Cscript %WINDIR%\System32\prnmngr.vbs -d -p “Microsoft XPS Document Writer”

Sometimes I impress myself… ok here it is.
This will get you to the properties of any local printer on your network. I tested it out by changing the name on my bosses computer. (im going to catch hell for that one, but I don’t care) and even I am impressed that it works. Changed the name and anything else you can do in properties. WOOT!! I’m also going to write up a new article including this info.

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n\\machine\printer

make sure to change “machine” to the name of the PC you want to change and “printer” of the name of the printer you are trying to access.
