Hello,

I need a way to pause a windows 2000 server print queue through a
script. I would like to pause the printer allowing jobs to queue until
the queue is resumed. The paused time period expands over a weekend so
setting the available time for the queue really does not me. I
have tried this code... witch works against a windows 2003 queue.

To pause the queue
Set objPrinter = GetObject("WinNT://printserver1/ledbetter")
objPrinter.pause

To start the queue
Set objPrinter = GetObject("WinNT://printserver1/ledbetter")
objPrinter.resume

Any would be cool
-m

I think the WMI set command is not supported for printers in Win2k.
