Hi,

When a user sets up a local printer, shares it and publishes it in AD,
is there anyway to a)force the user to fill in the Location and
Comment sections before they can click OK, and b) be forced to choose
those sections from a pre-determined list that I have set up? I
thought I saw this somewhere, but could be talking nonsense!

Thanks,
 
In the general settings of the printer properties you enter location
information. There is another functionality in AC, which is called Printer
Location Tracking. You can read all about it at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows200...s2000/en/server/help/sag_mp_location_lite.htm
Also see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=234270 for GPO settings related to
printer tracking and publishing.
