in reply to Mapped Printer

when run it under other users machine name i get no output. any idea why?

Perhaps because the userid you are running it under on your machine, does not have permissions on the remote machine, to access that information.

      Are the printers mapped to the machine, or the userid?

      That is, Windows allows some resources to only be visible to individual users, not to anyone who uses the machine. If the Administrator id you are using has never had those printer mappings assigned to it, then they will be invisible to it.

      Also, for an Administrator id to have privileges on other machines, it needs to be a Domain Administrator account, not a local Administrator account.
