In addition to monitoring and managing print servers and the printers they host, it is important to keep track of print resources on client computers. For example, adding new printers can reduce the load on existing printers, but only if users actually print to these new devices. Because of this, it is very useful to know which users have created connections to which printers, and which of these printers has been configured as the default print device. It is also useful to be able to reconfigure printer connections as needed.

WSH and WMI allow you to manage print resources on client computers by:

  • Enumerating printer connections
  • Adding and deleting printer connections
  • Configuring the default printer
