Hello all,
I have need to find the current printer name and port number and change to a different printer and then change it back.
The code I have listed below works on windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Windows XP, However it does not work on Windows 10. I get an Automation error.
So I am looking for an alternate way to do this or a work around.

Hello Epscan,
This macro code requires you run it with Admin Privileges. In the older systems, this was not an issue. Windows 10 defaults user profiles to standard user. You will need to adjust your access permissions for the WMI service and set the security for the WMI namespace CIMV2.
If you don't know how, see the last answer in this Post
Sincerely,
Leith Ross

Thanks for the reply.
Great to hear from the original author of the code! (works very well)
Permissions were set correctly.
We have not resolved the issue totally but I was able to see that a Windows 10 update corrupted something in the WMI. We have had some other unrelated issues with Windows 10 and have reverted back to Windows 7 on this machine. Windows 7 is our company standard, one user always wants to be ahead of the curve.
Marking as solved as it points us to where the problem was.
Thanks again.
Hello Epscan,
Ah, Windows 10. Don't you love having a product upgrade forced down your throat? Especially when it works soooo much better than the previous product?
On a happier note, I am glad you found the problem.
