I am trying to find the easiest way to export a list of all my printers from
my forest. All the print servers are W2K. Any ideas?
 
Hello,

Thank you for your post.

I think the easiest way to get a list of all the printers from a certain
forest is by using Printer Search. To do so, we can perform the following
steps from a computer in the forest:

1. Start->Search->For Printers
2. In the "In" box, please choose a certain domain or "Entire Directory".
3. Click "Find Now".

However, we cannot export the search result to a text file. If you want
such a list, you may need to develope a ADSI script. We can find a similar
example in the following website:
