The way that I solved that problem at a college here was to have all the computers in a lab named with a prefix for each lab.  Then at logon I check the prefix of the machine and use a Select Case to install and set the default printer correctly.  If you need more help contact me off list.

Hello,

 

i was wondering if anyone knows a way to have machines print to a specific printer no matter who logs on.  for example we have a computer lab and each student has their own account.  they have a roaming profile so they can log into any comuter in the school and retain settings etc.  server is w2k sp2 and workstations are w2k pro and nt 4.0.  is there a way so when they log into one of the lab computers it only captures the printers in the lab, when they go to the library they only capture the library printers, etc?  could it possibly be in group policy for machines?  any help is greatly appreciated..
