We had a very badass (what we consider over here anyhow) way of doing it. Our problem is that I work for a college, and for our public labs, we want all users to print to the lab printer. But some users have roaming profiles and others don't. So what we did was the following: i) Lab Computers in an OU ii) Lab OU gets GPO Computer Config of Loopback Processing iii) User Config in GPO for the Lab OU has logon/logoff scripts iv) Logon script reads the User's registry, and saves the default printer. It then adds the lab printer and sets it to default. v) Upon logoff, the lab printer is deleted and the old printer is set back to default.
Regardless of a roaming profile or not, all users can print to the lab printer, even if they've never logged on to those machines. If you want more info on this, get in touch with me directly. -Alex ========================= Alex Do Desktop OS Specialist Information Technology Services Occidental College (323) 259 1428 Fax: (323) 341 4895 1600 Campus Road Los Angeles, CA 90041 -----Original Message----- From: Larry A.
