Con2prn.exe can be used in both logonscripts, and shortcuts to connect
to printers.

I have made a startmenu item for all printers, and lets the users
connect to them by clicking a printer in the startmenu. This has reduced
the number of 'connecting printers-support calls' to zero.

This is however easier if you sentraly control theyr startmenu.

Server issue

Thanks for the replies

The user has rights as they can browse the printers on the print server
and 
connect/add them.  Its a pity they are user specific.  I was thinking of

maybe setting up all printers as a test user then copying that
ntuser.dat to 
the default user but that may be troublesoon when new printers come 
onboard..

The users could browse the printers on the print server and select the
one 
they want to print to but they are not that bright.  I want an easy way
to 
display all printers on our print server to each user.  I don't want to 
create new ports on the WTS either as Id have to configure all 100+
printers 
manually - too time consuming...  Its so much easier with Citrix...

Is there anything I can put maybe in a login script that would help - ie
if 
member of group ...  add printer ....  I really want a simple solution
but 
be flexible for new printers - does such a thing exist???  or do I have
to 
recreate all printers on the WTS box...

Thanks guys

Hi Rosemary

When you map a printer, the connection is created under HKCU. This isn't
available to any other users.

However all of the printer drivers are now installed onto the Windows
2003 
tse
server. So you could just allow your users to map whatever printers they

need.
I would enable policy's to prevent them from installing printer drivers.

The only other slightly sensible suggestion would be to create installed
printer queues but instead of going to the printer, create a local port
and
connect it to the Server\printer sharename. This way there is no
contention 
for
the printer. But you will have to re-setup your printer settings.

That's all I can think of.

Cheers

Cherie
