Is there a way I can add more printer drivers to the default printer list in windows XP. Example would be we have 10 differant printers none are listed in the default windows xp printer list so I have to browse the network to get the drivers everytime. We have a image with our standard software and would like to find a way to add the printers to the list so everytime I set up a new PC I dont have to log onto the network to get the drivers.
Then I would create a new ghost image with all the printer drivers with the new ones installed in the XP default list.

Hope that makes since. :)

I used nLite to make an WinXP + SP2 install disc with my SATA drivers included. You can probably use it in the same way to add the printer drivers, but you'll be creating a WinXP install disc. When you add drivers, it presents you with two different options (textmode vs. something else that I can't remember). Textmode is for SATA/RAID drivers during the WinXP install process so you should use the other mode for printer drivers.
