That is not batch code at all. It is not what was posted as an example. Delete a netowrk printer: rundll32 printui. Connect a network printer rundll32 printui. These commands manage printer connections dor the user session. They have no relationship to the printer key in HKLM.
They do not install local drivers but download a session driver from the server if one is available that matches the OS architecture. To install acomputer wide connection use this command: rundll32 printui. All of this is much easier to manage with VBScript because we have a network connection management object that can fo it all without knowing the structure of teh registry or having to know how to install a printer.
It also resiolves most issues of architecture which is why almost no admins ever use the old printui dll which was originally built for an older operating system and is not really designed to be run in a batch file. It is aUI utility command. If you look at the printer installation documentation that comes with the Resource Kit Tools, you will find that the examples of automation are all done using VBScript because most things cannot be easily done in a batch file. This is probably the same or less lines that a batch filr.
A batch file will also have to resolve the key names because they can be created in many ways and not be easy to match. The WshNetwork utility object was created to simplify this conenction management and knows how to resolve thes issues by calling into the correct API for the operating system and type of printer connection.
