Could you provide more details? Are you installing them on a Windows computer? MacOS? Installing straight to the printer via IP address or do you have a print server with queues that you are going through?

I haven't tried it out in a while, but this should still work for a VB script: http://www.kace.com/support/resources/kb/article/how-to-call-a-visual-basic-script
For your script, you would want to run it as an online script and provide admin credentials under the "Run As" section of the Kscript. - jknox 11 years ago
