If your statement spans multiple rows, you should end your statement with a _
or put the full statement on 1 row.
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersona te}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Selec t * From Win32_Printer Where _

Thanks for not posting ;-)
The answer seems to lie in this sentence: "It's probably not the cleanest
code, but it gets the job done". At some point you might find that your
"unclean" code will start failing to get the job done or causing other
problems because it is not cleaning up after itself by releasing resources

Looking at the Microsoft docs, I don't any mention of
what DLL houses the interfaces, which is odd, but it
is COM. You'd need to find the ProgID or CLSID or
file name, then check that in an object browser to see
whether there's a dispatch interface included. If so then
script can probably use it. If not then it won't be accessible

In addition, The OP could save themselves a lot of code by replacing that
long "If" command with a single assignment which made use of the %AppData%
environment variable. Then no testing on computer names is even needed.

I would refer to this script as more like an application than a script. I
like to push VB script to it's limits. Yes I do have arrays that I redim, I
also have Many objects that perform differing tasks (open CDO mailboxes with
CDO, send emails, open databases etc). It's probably not the cleanest code,
