You should consider deploying printers another way... Run this for ideas: "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?" In particular, the ability to store printer settings and restore them... Use this in combination with "runas /savecred" with a local admin or power user account. You'd probably need to install the driver files manually too. Also, check out the %systemroot%\system32\prn*.vbs scripts that are included with XP. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
