I have several network printers located throughout my school. When students login on a computer for the first time, they have to install the printer for that location. If they always use that computer all is fine in that their profile stored on that comput
er retains the printer setting. If they use a different computer in the same location, they have to install the printer again. This is not so bad, but the problem comes when a student decides to install a different printer located across campus and send a
1000 page report to it several times just to be make my day.
I would like to use domain group policies and take away the ability for students to add printers, problem is how will I add the appropriate printer to their profile on the computer.
I have seen one script that required adding a variable to the local enviroment and calling the script from the login script. This works fine if there is one printer in that location but if there are two (color & laser), the script will not work for the sec
ond printer. A modification to the script will allow for setting up 2 printers but I will have to change all the share names of the second printer for it to work. This will not do...
Any help or ideas...
