Does anyone know if there is a third party software
package that will allow me to add/change/remove network
printers remotely on a user's PC? We are upgrading a
variety of different Print Servers and printers and I
would like to make the changes on a user's PC without
impacting them in any way.
 
You can do it through scripting. We have gone through
about 5 printer migrations at various sites in the last
few months. Our main site we had about 40-50 printers on
three different servers and consolidated to a single
print server. Through the use of KIX scripting, we were
able to write a script that started at logon, went in and
found the default printer and changed the name and
server, then found all the other print mappings the user
had and remapped them using new server/share name, then
deleted all the old mappings.
