Applescript: installing windows print queue


Looking to install windows print queue on Apple OS via Apple script

This is path, with the username/password embedded
smb://domain\\\\userName:Password@server.address.edu/queueName

do shell script "/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p  3rd-floor -v smb://CUA\\\\" & userName & ":" & ThePassword & "@server.address.edu/queueName -P   " & quoted form of (POSIX path of driver3) as text & "  -D \"3rd-Floor-Library\""

do shell script "sudo /usr/sbin/accept 3rd-floor" with administrator privileges
   This sets correct access or right for the printer.


I embedded username/password because I found issues trying to use Applescript to create entries in Keychain.


lpadmin switches


 -L "location"
            Provides a textual location of the destination.

 -P ppd-file
            Specifies  a  PostScript  Printer  Description  file to use 
            with the printer. If specified, this
            option overrides the -i option (interface script). 
 
 -v "device-uri"
            Sets the device-uri attribute of the printer queue. 
            Use the -v option with the lpinfo(8) command
            to get a list of supported device URIs and schemes.

 -D "info"
            Provides a textual description of the destination.
