default printer changes

[Guest Ray]

Good Day,

 

We're using windows 2003 terminal server. On each user logon the default

printer for the user changes. Is there a way to keep the default printer from

changing?

 

Thanks,

Ray

Hi Ray,

 

What kind of printer solution do you use?

A) Print Server on the network -or-

B) Printer Redirection?

 

Are your users poweruser on the TS?

 

There might be a chance that you use solution A, but that the default

printer changes when the user log's on with Printer Redirection enabled?

 

Let me know.

 

Cheers mate,

Yuri

Thanks for your response. We use the print server on the network method. The

print server is the terminal server and I'm trying to make the toshiba copier

the default for a few users. None of the users are power users.

 

THanks you in advance.

Ray

Hi Ray,

 

With this solution you can use login scripts to add printers to the users

(and to set the default). Are you familiar with Kix Scripting?

http://www.kixtart.org/

 

This should point you in the right direction:

AddPrinterConnection ("\\PrintSrv1\hp LaserJet 2200")

SetDefaultPrinter ("\\PrintSrv1\hp LaserJet 2200")

 

This way you can make one script for all users, or just individual for every

user.

Or IF user in Group_HP2200, then...

 

You can make it as beautiful as you want…

 

Good luck,

Yuri
