How to deploy Printer VBScript/cmd in SCCM with admin rights

I'm having trouble with the following script. It works when run locally. When I run it through SCCM nothing happens.

@ECHO OFF

REM Create Port
cscript Prnport.vbs -a -r IP_10.x.x.x -h 10.x.x.x -o raw -n 9100

REM Install Driver
cscript Prndrvr.vbs -a -m "Xerox WorkCentre 5700 Series Class Driver" -h "%~dp0\Xerox WorkCentre 5700 Series Class Driver" -i "%~dp0\x2UNIVX.inf"

REM Create Printer
cscript prnmngr.vbs -a -p "SUP140" -m "Xerox WorkCentre 5700 Series Class Driver" -r IP_10.x.x.x

I also have another script that works locally but not through SCCM. It

'msgbox ("Printer installation complete.  Don't Forget to make it the default printer")


This script generates an WEBem permission error.

It is probably due to network printers are a per user item.  You would need to deploy as current user..  You can push the vbscript to the machines and then modify the run once key to install on next boot.

  • Changing the Deployment Type-User Experience to Install for User solved the problem. Thank you!! - pcteklink 7 years ago
