    Adding Networked Printer with WSH

    Hi having a problem adding a Printer using the WSH in Word.

    VB Code:
    1. objPrinters.AddPrinterConnection "2nd_label", "\\lvp-fap\2nd_flr7"

    I get the folloeing error

    Runtime Error -2147023696 (800704b0)
    Automation error The specifiied device name is invalid.
    But I can see the printer on the \lvp-fap\ server ad the name is correct can any one help!!!!

    Thanks



    Really confused now did some searching on t'internet and found this that works a treat

    VB Code:
    1. Dim net

    2. Set net = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

    3. net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\lvp-fap\2nd_label"

    why does this work and not my original?????
