Network Pinter Question

[Guest]

I work in a school. Each lab has at least one Network Printer. I Use
Professional in the labs on an NT Server.

Students move from lab to lab.

I need to set up printers on the machines that are accessable to anyone who
logs into that machine.

As it is the printer is setup under a user account and is only available to
that user. The next user that logs in has to set the printer up all over
again.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Since you are using Windows 2000, you can have the default profile applies to
the new user on that machine when the user first time logs on. You can set
your printer in the custome default profile.

Replied in another group. Please don't multipost - if you need to post to
multiple groups, it's best to crosspost instead, by posting a single message
to a handful of relevant groups (separate the NG names with commas) so that
everyone can follow the thread. This makes it easier for everyone, including
you.

Appreciate the suggestion. I will look into it. For your reference I was
helped by more than one person and the best solution was printui.dll.

Denis,

Do you know if this will work if you are using Manditory profiles?

I found the Script center repository through another news group and through
this I could script installation of printers with logon scripts. It is
written in vbs.
