Printing in AD

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

I am testing out a Win2k print server, and would like to know if it is
possible to publish printers on workstations for all users, instead of having
them have to search the directory to add a printer?

Thanks in advance!

The way I would do this is to create a computer startup script that installs
the printer automatically and assign this script to you PCs with Group
Policy. There are many methods you can use to write the script (VB, Kix
etc.) but also consider printui.dll commands which are pretty useful.

Thanks for the info, I'm trying to run the "AddGlobalPrinterRemotely.cmd"
file, upon running this file I get the error "Unable to add the per machine
printer connection. Operation could not be completed." I have to Windows XP
firewall turned off to prevent any problems, but I can not get past this.
Any ideas?
