i tested the script again at home and there it does work perfectly. weird. tomorrow at work i will try it again. don't understand why it didn't work today.

yes that part works, but when i choose one, it gets an error

sorry to say but it aint fixed, but its fine i'll deal it with my boss it will be fine was just curious if it was possible, i don't want to make a new script for every pc as whe have 400 pc's

yes i will leave it that way, it works to but my boss would like it more if those printers were 'invincible' but i already thought that would be an impossible job.

thanks again guys! you were very helpfull and patient!

darn it, i think you guys helped me enough, i am very pleased on how you guys helped me out. i think i just talk with my boss that its best to just keep that list. its not that it gets much more crowed because of that. perhaps he thinks its okay this way. thanks a lot people! you guys helped me out ...

dude you are wonderfull! it works! thanks so much man, you guys really know how to help people. kudo's for you!

i will throw this script into my full one and let you know how that turns out!

you're to kind! really helpful and lots of patience.

i will thank you for that!

i wan't to learn this so badly but it aint easy if its new for you!

no sorry it doesnt work. the list is still the same and when i choose an printer it gives me an error loop to fast to read.

sorry to keep bothering you, but it doesn't work, is there something to be done? what you understand is right. those printers are in that order and need to be excluded.

its harder than i tought!

as far as i know the order of those printers wil stay the same except other printers will fill in between them. but the order of the 'excluded' ones should be the same.

do you run windows? then you probably know what i mean.the order is
Fax
Microsoft XPS Document Writer
Verzenden naar OneNote 2010

those are needed to be excluded. the file that contains the printers is a temp file.
im talking about the printerlist.txt. it will be removed at the end of the script

what i mean with "a sample of that file" is the printer.txt file this is the exact file i replaced the original printer names with others for privacy reasons. its from a company:) you never know. printerlist.txt 1) Verzenden naar OneNote 2010 (needs to be deleted) 2) original printer 1 3)...

what it does is it creates two files, type and findstr without extention.

the script i post above is the script i use. in the file printerlist.txt there are just the name of the printers. nothing more. i want the preinstalled printers like Fax and the one note and XPS document printer to be hidden. i prefer to keep them installed for if someone might need it in any other ...

hi there, with some help here on the forum i have created the following batch file the written script under has the meaning of creating an temp file with the name of printers, creating an menu in cmd of it an then give the user an chance to choose one as default. now i want to exclude one of the pri...
