WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection

The RemovePrinterConnection method removes the current resource connection denoted by strName.

Syntax

WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection strName, [bForce], [bUpdateProfile]
 

Parameters

strName

The strName parameter can be either a local name or a remote name, depending on how the printer is connected. If the printer has a mapping between a local name (for example, LPT1) and a remote name, then strName must be set to the local name. If the network path does not have a local name mapping, then strName must be set to the remote name.

bForce

If bForce is supplied and its value is TRUE, this method removes the connection whether the resource is used or not.

bUpdateProfile

If bUpdateProfile is supplied and its value is TRUE, this mapping is stored in the user profile.

Example

Set WshNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
' Local name mapped to remote share
  WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection "LPT1:"
' No local name mapping. e.g. NET USE "\\Server\Printer1" 
  WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection "\\Server\Printer1"
