Nope, what you describe is exactly what we have and do. Printers are either on a jet direct box or their own NIC......once installed they are available to everyone that logs in.
Reconsider the account thing, it is not that big a deal. Get the list from your student information system, use their student ID's for passwords and script create them. OU's for School and year, roll them up each summer and delete the 12th grade. Redirect my documents to a shared server folder and it will automatically created the folder for them.... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274443 We have 8000 students, I spend 2 or 3 days tops each summer bumping and rolling accounts for students. And last, delegate account control to the Media Specs in each building and teach them how to reset passwords and create accounts....... > -----Original Message----- > From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 2:01 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Who printed this? > > But these are network printers that we're connecting to, and connected > network printers are on a per-user basis rather than a per-machine > basis.
