We want the Epson there for the student's to use, just not as the default. So to change the laser to be the default instead of last used, that'd be within system preferences->printers?

Usually the mac is set up as "last used" printer. Change that in preferences to the laser being "default." 2) Remove the Epson inkjet from the student computer choices? They can't print to it if they can't see it. -gerry Gerry Mattix-Wand Director of Educational Technology East Alton-Wood River H.S.

A VB Script can do it, and that's kind of it. What about on a Mac? I have a 14 station mac lab with an Epson inkjet printer shared from the teacher's Mac to all the student stations. The student stations also each have a direct IP connection to a b/w laser printer. Any tips for making sure the laser is the default for the students when they log in?
