I am curretly trying to set up logon scripts for our printers within our environment that are hosted on a W2003 Print Server. I have a printer that requires a code to print off colour copies. I have never created logon scipts for printers before so my questions are:

1) Is it possible to implement such a thing without "erasing" all of the users local printer settings by re-adding them each AM through scripts outlined above. ie duplexing, validation codes, default paper tray etc.

Of the swarms of IT Departments that use logon scripts in their corporations I'm sure many of them customize print jobs and use validation codes for colour printing.

Printer Script (what I am proposing)

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection \\HCHPRINTSERVER\PRINTERSHARENAME
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter “\\HCHPRINTSERVER\PRINTERSHARENAME"

In all of my years in IT I have never heard or seen a printer logon script. That would make sense since a printer doesn't logon to the system.

Sounds like you need to re-engineer / reprogram the print drivers.
