Try out this query it may help you out.

Option Explicit

Private Const tDomain  As String = "MyDomain" ‘ your current domain

Public Sub ShowADPrinters()
Dim tConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim tCmd As ADODB.Command
Dim rs11 As ADODB.Recordset
Dim Cell1 As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim tPrinterList() As String

Application1.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Set tConn = New ADODB.Connection
Set tCmd = New ADODB.Command
tConn.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
tConn.Open "Active Directory Provider"
' Create a command object for this connection.
Set tCmd.ActiveConnection = tConn

' Compose a search string.
tCmd.CommandText = "SELECT printerName, printColor " & _
    "FROM 'LDAP://DC=" & tDomain & ",DC=local' " & _
    "WHERE objectCategory='printQueue' "
' Execute the query.
Set rs11 = oCmd.Execute

rs11.MoveFirs11t

ReDim tPrinterList(rs11.RecordCount + 1, 1)
i = 0

Do While Not rs11.EOF

  'Debug.Print rs11!printerName
  tPrinterList(i, 0) = rs11!printerName
  tPrinterList(i, 1) = rs11!printColor
  rs11.MoveNext
  i = i + 1
Loop

Set Cell1 = Range("A1")
Cell1.Value = "Printer Name"
Cell1.Offset(0, 1).Value = "Colour Printer"
For i = 0 To UBound(tPrinterList)
Cell1.Offset(i + 1, 0) = tPrinterList(i, 0)
Cell1.Offset(i + 1, 1) = tPrinterList(i, 1)
Next
ErrHandlr:
Set oCmd = Nothing
tConn.Close
Set tConn = Nothing
End Sub

I think this query also works according to your requirement.

Dim y
Dim strSpacer1
Sub ldap1()
Sheets("SheetXYZ").Select

On Error Resume Next
Set tcon = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set tcmd = CreateObject("ADODB.command")
Set trst = CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")

'defines the type of DB we are connecting to
tcon.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
tcon.Open

tcmd.ActiveConnection = tcon
tcmd.Properties("Page Size") = 20000
'Submit the query
tcmd.CommandText = "<LDAP1://DC=capitol,DC=local>;(cn=Gary Stockton);name,
ADsPath"

Set trst = tcmd.Execute
y = 2
Do Until trst.EOF
Range("a" & y).Select
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Range("a" & y).Value = trst.Fields("name")
Range("b" & y).Value = trst.Fields("ADsPath")
Range("c" & y).Value = trst.Fields("class")
ListGroups
trst.MoveNext
y = y + 1

Loop

End Sub

Private Sub ListGroups()
On Error Resume Next
Set TObject = GetObject(Range("B" & y).Value)
objMemberOf = TObject.GetEx("MemberOf")
strSpacer1 = strSpacer1 & " "
For Each objGroup In TObject.memberOf
If Not objGroup = Empty Then
y = y + 1
strQuery = "LDAP1://" & objGroup
Set TObject = GetObject(strQuery)
Range("a" & y).Value = strSpacer1 & Mid(TObject.Name, 4,
Len(TObject.Name) - 3)
Range("b" & y).Value = TObject.ADsPath
ListGroups
End If
Next
strSpacer1 = Left(strSpacer1, Len(strSpacer1) - 6)
End Sub

MS-Excel LDAP Search is an MS-Excel add-in that permit LDAP searches to be made from within MS-Excel this generally use within queries, and the ensuing data to be directly imported from the index server to the MS-Excel document. ELS can be used to add LDAP data to presented data in an MS-Excel document on a row-by-row basis (see Figure 1), or colonize a blank sheet based on a custom query. Though there some limitation in using this quey ELS was designed for a quite essential LDAP surroundings. Some characteristic that are not hold are SSL, certificate verification, and recommend following. I put jointly a pair of flash demo movies that show classic ELS practice for a running a query to fill in a empty Excel sheet and for adding up new row data to existing Excel entries.
