Can you please tell me how to add a network printer to
the profile as a default printer. Then when they log on
to a specific area the printer availble in that area
would be added to the profile as the default printer.

Thanks a lot

The default printer for the logged on user is stored in the "Device" value
in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

If you want to set the default per computer, you can place the "Device"
value in:
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
- The value here will be copied to the HKCU key for a user when they first
log on to the machine
