Automatically Install Printers Based on Computer Group

I want to setup the following for computers in groups called Room1, Room2,
Room3

Room1
HPLJ4100C
HPLJ4150

Room2
HPLJIII
HPLJ4

Room3
HPLJ4050C
HPLJ4000N

Then when a machine is turned on based on the Computer Group it will have
the appropriate printers/drivers automatically installed without user
intervention. How can I do this?

Thank you in advance.
 
You need to use a script based on a Group Policy. The
group policy can then be filtered to only apply to
specific groups.

We simply use a Windows Script Files as follows:

Set WSHNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

on error resume next
 
I have written a loginscript that works similar to this, but instead of
groups you put the printer queue objects in the same OU as the computers you
want them to be connected to. You then set this loginscript to run in a GPO,
and when the user logs on it will check in the the same OU and the OU's
beneath it if there are any printer queues to connect to.

E-mail me if you want this script. It requires .NET framework on all the
clients.
