Bit late in the day, but for anyone wandering in here in the future...
The original simply suffered from an over-abundance of quote marks. Also, the use of COMSPEC was unnecessary:
Servername =InputBox("Enter the server name and the printer name in this format: \\PrintServer\Printer")
Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run("rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /ga" & Servername & "/j LanMan PrintServices"),1,True

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
