ListPrinters Command Line Output to a file on a (hidden) network share

Data parsing examples

Should you have included the program ListPrinters in a batch file, configured to write the output to a network share, output can be analysed using the standard Windows command FINDSTR using the following examples. The file name is constructed using the environment variables %UserName%, containing the log on name of the currently logged on user, and the name of the computer from %ComputerName%. The file in this example is stored on the file server share \\NLAALFS1\PrinterData$\.

ListPrinters.exe > \\NLAALFS1\PrinterData$\%UserName%-%ComputerName%.txt

When opening the directory in a command prompt window you can use the following examples:

01| C:\demo>net use y: \\NLAALFS1\PrinterData$
02| The command completed successfully.
03| 
04| C:\demo>y:
05| 
06| Y:\>FINDSTR /I nlaal *.txt
07| johan-NLAALNB02.txt:\\NLAALPRTSRV1\NLAALPRT1
08| john-NLAALNB02.txt:\\NLAALPRTSRV1\NLAALPRT1
09| paul-NLAALNB03.txt:\\NLAALPRTSRV1\NLAALPRT2
10| 
11| Y:\>FINDSTR /I nlaalprtsrv1 *.txt
12| johan-NLAALNB02.txt:\\NLAALPRTSRV1\NLAALPRT1
13| paul-NLAALNB03.txt:\\NLAALPRTSRV1\NLAALPRT2
14| 
15| Y:\>FINDSTR /I nlaalprt1 *.txt
16| johan-NLAALNB02.txt:\\NLAALPRTSRV1\NLAALPRT1
17| john-NLAALNB02.txt:\\NLAALPRTSRV1\NLAALPRT1

Line 01 just maps a drive to the network share so FINDSTR can use this "disk".
Line 06 shows all the users having a printer or use the print server in the location Aalst in the Netherlands (NLAAL).
Line 11 shows an example of finding all the users and computers using the print server NLAALPRTSRV1. It shows Johan and Paul using the printers NLAALPRT1 and NLAALPRT2.
Line 15 shows an example to find all users and computers using the printer NLAALPRT1.
The output of the FINDSTR command can be redirected to another file for processing in Excel.
