Remove Old Mapped Printers via GPO/Script/Something?

[Guest Scott Townsend]

We've migrated our Print Server a Few times and now we have several legasy

printers mapped to user sessions.

 

The Printers were connected by just double clicking the Printer Share on the

Server by the User. So not pushed by GPO.

 

We are now pushing out the New Printers to the users via GPO.

 

Besides having the Users go and Delete the Printers out of the Printer's

Control Panel, how can I delete them??

 

It would be great if there was a Script, GPO, or something that I could run

when the user logs in and have it remove all of the old printers.

 

I've tried running these Manually for users and myself.

 

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /dn /n\\server\HBG-Crayola

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /gd /n\\server\HBG-Crayola

 

Though It looks like it needs a connection to the Print Server to remove the

Connection?

The Shared Printers on the Old server no longer Exist. So there is no

connection to them.

 

 

if I run rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ge

It says there are no per-machine printers installed.

 

Do I have to Reboot the server for them to disappear for the other users

(which have logged off and back on)

 

 

 

Thanks,
