Inventory for installed printer (printserver)

I too would like to see what printers, fax and other devices listed.

I would like to know also.

I'd like to see this feature added as well as we have users with both local and network printers and I would like to inventory both types of servers.

Same as original poster, been searching for a script to do this, but having it available via a custom scan would be great!!

Not sure this will help anyone, but if you are handy with scripting, you could possibly use this script to enumerate a text file, or custom entry in PDQi, .. This particular script is handy when you get a corrupt driver on the print server queues. It uses wmi and collects printers that are known to be on the client as a network printer, then removes them, and immediately readds them back. Modify it and see if you can make PDQ collect your client's network printer info.

______

strComputer = "."

Set objNet = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Network" )

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colInstalledPrinters =  objWMIService.ExecQuery _     ("Select * from Win32_Printer Where Network = TRUE")

For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters      

objPrinter.Delete_  

objNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(objPrinter.name)  

Next

WScript.Echo "printers installed successfully"

WScript.Quit

Todd-

I think this could help me. I am thinking I would like to modify it though so that it doesn't delete and re-add printers. I would just like it to query the computer during a standard PDQi scan, enumerate the printers, and write them to a custom attribute in the computer inventory.

I could see this being part of my "standard" scan for all computers, and also a custom scan that I run when troubleshooting printer issues.

I would probably also keep your script and add it as a "tool" in cases where I would need to delete and re-add all printers.

Cool. Let us know how it goes for you, and share if you can! I don't have a clue on how I could use it to scan and update a custom attribute..
