Add Network printers

[matthewsj]

I am trying to find a way to automatically set up several network printers on an XP machine so that each user will have access to all of them without having to install each of them.

I only need this to run once when the profile is created. I know I can set up a TCP/IP connection for each printer in the local admin logon, I can't do that beacuse I am building a clone for distribution to 100 PC's, and I want to use the network printer server so I only have to do a single driver update on the server versus updating each driver on each machine later.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Matthews

I'm doing a clone disk that I am using Powerquest drive image to deploy and I was trying to install 7 network printers many do not have drivers on the windows disk. the server has the drivers and I need to have each new profile that is created to map to the printers one time at the time the profile is generated. and then not run anymore.

I guess I will have to put a shortcut to the batch file I wrote that maps network printers using the "rundll32.exe printui.dll PrintUIEntry" commands and just have each person run it when they log on the first time.

I looked into doing the "runonce" with a registery edit but it didn't seem to work for each user.

Thanks,

I will save the vbs script, never know if I might want to use it for another project later.
