Default printer for new users

[Parley]

We have a network setup with several workstations and printers. Each
employee is able to log in to any of the machines. The first time someone
logs into a machine they have a default printer that is really of no use
them. I would like to be able to force a default printer and dos printer at
first login. Is this possible? and how would I go about doing it?

TIA

You can map the PC's LPT1 to one of the network printers
(via IP). W2K now recognizes the network printer as a
default local printer. Now everytime any user logs on to
that PC, the printer you just mapped will be their default.

Add Printer | Local Printer | Create new port | select an
IP method.

You can do this quite easily with a VBScript.
Set it as a part of a login script.
I don't have the code handy, but you can search for it on Google.
