Set default Printers using scripts

Locked

Dear Colleagues,
I was given the script below to automatically install network printers for users. The script works fine, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to also make the printer default by adding a few more lines to the .vbs file.
Thanks.

set wshnet = CreateObject(“WScript.Network”)
wshnet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection “\\server\printershare”
