##### ThinPrint Management Services script for creating or supplementing CSV files for AutoConnect's Map Additional Printers table (MAP) #####
# Here, the printer list is retrieved from a single ThinPrint Client.
##### Fill in values to the variables $csvpath, $targetserver, $agentfqdn and $clientname as well as optionally $mapfilter and $iprange or $ipaddress #####
$csvpath = "C:\MAP\MAP.csv" # path to the Map Additional Printers CSV file, e. g. "C:\temp\MAP.csv"
$targetserver = "tpms003" # central print server's address, e. g. "CPS003" or "192.168.130.1"

$mapfilter = 3 # filter rules:
# 0 = * is set to columns User/Group, IP Range and Client Name
# 1 = client's IP range is set to column IP Range (specified using $iprange)
# 2 = client's IP address is set to column IP Range (specified using $ipaddress)
# 3 = client's hostname is set to column Client Name (specified using $clientname)
$iprange = "192.168.149.0/24" # IP range entry in the IP Range column, e. g. "192.168.130.0/24", will be used in MAP if $mapfilter = 1
$ipaddress = "192.168.149.17" # single IP address entry in the IP Range column, e. g. "192.168.130.35", will be used in MAP if $mapfilter = 2
$clientname = "client701" # address for retrieving the printer list from ThinPrint Client ...
# ... as well as hostname entry in Client Name column, e. g. "LPS025", will be used in MAP if $mapfilter = 3
##### Reading the printer list from the ThinPrint Client #####
$client = New-TpmsObjTpClient -Name $clientname -Port 4000 # specifies ThinPrint Client's address and TCP port
$srva = New-TpmsObjQueryAgent -Name $agentfqdn -Port 5050 -ClientQueries ($client) # specifies Tpms Agent's address and TCP port
$clientprinters = Start-TpmsQueryByAgent -Servers ($srva) | Format-TpmsDispatch # retrieves the printer list from ThinPrint Client
$clientprinters # displays the client printer list
##### Preparing the Map Additional Printers CSV file #####
If( [system.io.file]::Exists($csvpath) -eq $True) # checks whether the specified CSV file exists
{
$mapold = Get-Content $csvpath -readcount 0 # reads the current CSV file
Set-Content $csvpath -value $mapold # adds a linefeed after "¶"
}
Else
{
Add-Content -path $csvpath -value "DefaultPrinter,UserGroup,IPRange,ClientName,Destination" # writes the table head if file didn't exist
