Hi
I explain my title: i'm actually developping an application for privilege-limited users.
They all have a laptop, and are not local administrators of the machine
I 'm developping a program that allows them to create profiles with IP, Proxy, Network Drives and printers
For drives and printers, they can supply a username/password so they can connect to file servers/printers without having to change the local user... (or do a RunAs, but they hate doing that...
When the profile is loaded, the IP config is changed, proxy and network drives are added and, ideally, printers too..
Everything is fine but the printers now... I can't manage to install the printer/printer driver automatically, and dynamically
I mean, i won't know the name of every drivers of printers they will use...
And so : Is there a way to add a printer (if possible using specific credentials) just by supplying its network name, similar to a doubleclick on a printer on a printserver
In KiXtart, i've done this with AddPrinterConne ction()... but it wasn't working with other credentials..
Thanks for reading... :

I have some functionality that I am trying to implement and I cannot figure
it out. What I am trying to do is make it so that a user goes to a web page,
sees a printer, clicks on a hyperlink, and the printer gets installed on the
end-user machine. Much the same as when you connect to a printer through the
Start --> Run... by typing in a UNC path. For example: Entering
\\printserver01\printer01 into the Run dialog will connect to the...

Hi all
Is there an easy way to install a network printer by code in Vb.Net (Meaning
connecting to a printer from a server for eg \\MyServer\MyPrinter, so no
drivers are required or anything like that). In vb6 i used Wsh to install
it, should i continue using the same method or does .NET have a better way
of doing it ?
Thanks

Hello:
I would like to create my own printer driver so that it is available in all
applications through the file ->Print menu of applications.
The driver will essentially take the contents of what is in the parent
application and save it so file (like a file - save as).
I will do some information processing when the printer driver is called so I
will need it to open a form (like other drivers do).
I am reading about pdd files and I see a...

If a user navigates to the printers on a domain controller, they can
double click on the Printer Icon and it will install the printer on
their machine. That's great as long as the user knows what server the
printer server is. I have imbed a floor map on a page and I'd like to
put hyperlinks to the appropriate printer on the Print Server. This
way as long as a user can get to my site, they can map their own

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
