We'd like to be able to assign the same default printer to all users of a
particular machine. Is there a command line way to accomplish this? If so
we could put it in the all users startup.

Any other thoughts? We are in an AD but have limited access to the
administration of it (policies and so on), but we do have administrative
rights to the machine.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

I don't actually know if this article will help... but it says you
should be able to set the default printer using the printer user
interface dll.

Check it out.
