I am assuming that a printer cannot be installed through a computer policy
but has to be applied only to a users account.

Hi,

Actually it can. I install Printers to computers all the time. I put
it in a startup script and use a batch file with the rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /q /n "\\Server\Printer Name"
command.

This works great with Windows 2000. However, with XP you need to have
a loopback script with the user logon script in the computer OU Group
Policy as well to make sure it adds.

Type rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry at the command line to get a
whole list of things you can do with this command.

Cheers,


Lara
