i have 1 OU with 1400 users.
there are 3 printer on my school.
i make a printer on in the login.bat with :
rundll32 printui.dll,printuientry /q /in /n \\dcll\lokaal134
rundll32 printui.dll,printuientry /q /in /n \\dcll\lokaal135
rundll32 printui.dll,printuientry /q /in /n \\dcll\mediatheek

but when that are in the classroom of 135 and they print the prints go to
classroom 134
because the printer in 134 is default.
and i don't want that.
how can i make this better.
thanxs in advance

What type of Printers, same driver? Are they close to each other (same
room)?

If so, you could make each of these a member of a Print Pool, i.e.,
a single PRINTER with 3 devices -- then simplify your batch to
point to just the one "printer" (in Windows a Printer is a logical print
queue not the device.)

Rules for a Print Pool -- all use same driver and are close enough to
each other that users can find their print job.
 
You could create separate OU's for classroom 134 and classroom 135 with
different login scripts for each room that only point to the local printer
or at least make the local printer the default.
 
ok i have made 3 ou's with computer policy's :)
that works.
but for the one who already have loged in the pc's
there are 4 printers lol
is there an option with rundll32 printui.dll,printuientry /q /in /n
\\dcll\lokaal134
to disconnect a printer ?

Kloenie,

Assuming that all of the client machines are WIN2000 and
above take a look at the following logon script that you
could use. You could modify it a bit to fit your needs -
such as changing the Default Printer. Simply create one
for each of the OUs that you now have and ( so you would
have logon134.vbs, logon135.vbs and logon136.vbs ):

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dim Net
Set net = CreateObject ("WScript.Network")
net.RemoveNetworkDrive "T:"
net.MapNetworkDrive "T:", "\\servername\sharename","False"
net.RemoveNetworkDrive "U:"
net.mapNetworkDrive "U:", "\\servername\sharename","False"
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\dc11\lokaal134"
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\dc11\lokaal135"
net.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\dc11\mediatheek"
net.SetDefaultPrinter "\\dc11\lokaal134"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The last line you could modify. You could use the logon
scripts via GPO....I really like them to be run this way
and much prefer GPO over the older .bat or .cmd...

HTH,

Cary
