How do I add a network printer to a workstation so that it
is availabable to all users of that workstation ?
 
Use the following commands in command file to stop and start the spooler.
The issue is that the command ends before the service is stopped, so the
start command fails. Using the "Start" command with the /wait parameter
avoids that problem.

start /wait sc \\computername stop spooler
start /wait sc \\computername start spooler

The "sc" command can be used to send services related commands to other
computers.

To delete a printer added using the /ga command, change the /ga to /gd and
run the command again.

Have you tried installing all your printers, detach all
mapped drives, log in as local administrator and copy
your profile to the default profile?

If you delete all existing profiles, then each used that
logs into that device will get a copy of your profile
with all the printers, desktop, basically everything you
setup previous to copying the profile.

Another is using Prism Deploy to create an executable
that you can issue during loging with startup.bat.

Another is to add the printers to all users at all times
via a kix script in the NETLOGIN share during login.
I hope this is helpful.
