Default printer

[Gerry Goldberg]

Is there any way to force the default printer assignment to apply to any/all
users of a specific workstation? It appears to me that this assignment is
unique to each user of the specific workstation. I would like to force the
default to apply to all users of this workstation. Can the default be forced
by a network administrator?

Thanks,

Gerry Goldberg

This logon script maps drives and installs printers and makes a printer the default. Fill it in with your own info.
