Setting up network printers in Windows XP...

Is there a way for us Network Admins to setup printers on a system so that every user will automatically have that printer mapped when they login?

This is getting really old having to go setup printers for a user everytime they log into a different or new system.

TIA

Below is a vbs script syntax I use...just replace servername with your print server name and sharename with the sharename of your printer. Below is an example which installs 2 printers and sets printer1 as the default.

Copy and paste into Notepad and save this as a .vbs extension. Open gpedit.msc and under User configuration -> Windows settings you'll see scripts (logon/logoff)...open the logon script dialog box and add the script there. Now whenever anyone logs on, the script is run and the printers are installed.

Good luck.

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Printer1Path = "\\servername\sharename"
Printer2Path = "\\servername\sharename"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection Printer1Path
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection Printer2Path
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter Printer1Path
