WMI query

[jbrunnqu]

XP SP2

I have installed printers on XP and can see them in WMI in win32_printer.
Using cimstudio from a remote PC, I can connect to WMI on the target PC and
can get to Win32_printer but no instances of printers are displayed. How can
I view or enumerate printer instances in Win32_printer on a remote PC?

Thanks

Maybe the app is broken. This script (assuming you set strComputer=??)
should do that:

--printers.vbs--
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Printer")

For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objPrinter.Name
Wscript.Echo "Location: " & objPrinter.Location
Wscript.Echo "Default: " & objPrinter.Default
Next
--end file--
