We have a domain with S2K3 and roaming profiles. We have multiple computers and printers. Depending on the location, each 'computer' has a particular default printer. When different users with their particular profile log onto a computer, the default printer changes as per the profile that is loaded.

We want the default printer to stay the same for each computer NO MATTER WHICH PROFILE IS LOADED. We can't find a registry entry or even a policy that with override the profile.

If anyone knows how to do this, let me know.

Thanks,

ismay

I work in a school and use this on many machines this has to be altered to suit the correct drivers and printer name but works well if installed in the start folder on each machine -have fun let me know how you get on

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
PrinterPath = "\\curricserver\EPSONSty"
PrinterDriver = "EPSON stylus C84 Series"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\curricserver\EPSONSty"

Do they use roaming profiles and move with their profile from computer to computer thereby using different default printers?
