Reporting on Computers by Network Printer
Created: 16 Apr 2009 | Updated: 07 Mar 2012
After running into the problem of trying to find out what computers are using what network printers I created a report that will list all of the computers that have a specific printer installed. This report can also be used to setup a dynamic collection of these systems. This comes in handy when you look at what the prnmngr.vbs can do (which is a vbscript built into Windows for managing printers). For more information about this go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490974.aspx.
I was able to create a job in NS that would install a printer and delete another printer all based on the collections built with this report.
Since you can not attach .xml files just remove _.txt from the following attachment.
