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
