Search Network Print Servers for printers, then maps them (very cool utility) description
I wrote this code to take a HUGE burdeon off our chest by just requiring the user to type the name of the printer in and letting the program search all the print servers. Once it has been found, it will ask the user if they want to first install the printer THEN it will ask them if they want to make it their default printer. They can install more than one printer (the program loops back and asks them if they want to install another one).
Our building has about 5 or so print servers with about 45-50 printers on each server.

Hope this works for you.
oh.. I cant get the command:
set output = shell.exec("net view \\" & PrinterSpec)
from displaying a quick DOS window to appear and disappear.
