EnumPrinterConnections Method

Article
07/17/2015

Returns the current network printer mapping information.

Syntax

objPrinters = object.EnumPrinterConnections

Arguments

object
WshNetwork object.
objPrinters
Variable that holds the network printer mapping information.

Remarks

The EnumPrinterConnections method returns a collection. This collection is an array that associates pairs of items — network printer local names and their associated UNC names. Even-numbered items in the collection represent printer ports. Odd-numbered items represent the networked printer UNC names. The first item in the collection is at index zero (0).

Legacy Code Example

Description

The following example uses the EnumPrinterConnections method to generate a list of networked printers and displays this mapping information.

<package>
   <job id="vbs">
      <script language="VBScript">
         Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
         Set oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives
         Set oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections
         WScript.Echo "Network drive mappings:"
         For i = 0 to oDrives.Count - 1 Step 2
            WScript.Echo "Drive " & oDrives.Item(i) & " = " & oDrives.Item(i+1)
         Next
         WScript.Echo 
         WScript.Echo "Network printer mappings:"
         For i = 0 to oPrinters.Count - 1 Step 2
            WScript.Echo "Port " & oPrinters.Item(i) & " = " & oPrinters.Item(i+1)
         Next
   </script>
</job>

   <job id="js">
      <script language="JScript">
         var WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network");
         var oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives();
         var oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections();
         WScript.Echo("Network drive mappings:");
         for(i = 0; i < oDrives.length; i += 2) {
            WScript.Echo("Drive " + oDrives.Item(i) + " = " + oDrives.Item(i + 1));
         }
         WScript.Echo();
         WScript.Echo("Network printer mappings:");
         for(i = 0; i < oPrinters.length; i += 2) {
            WScript.Echo("Port " + oPrinters.Item(i) + " = " + oPrinters.Item(i + 1));
         }
      </script>
   </job>
