I am looking into to similiar, though i want my application (VB.Net 2.0) to
map to certain printers depending on the name of the computer.
This data will be taken from a DB, the easy part, but what i can't figure
out is how to map printers.
At the moment my organization is using vbs scripts which are a hassle
considering the amount of printers that we have.
