Grab print settings, driver and install on other pc's

[Hans Klinger]

Hi,

Is it possible to grab all settings for a network printer installation on a
windows 2000 pro and somehow replicate/install those on other pc's?

Regards,

Hans,

I have not test this but I would think you could explort the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers key from the system with the
printers and import it on the system without. This will only grab the print queue information but when we try to use the queue
the first time it should pull the driver down from the print server, assuming this other machine can connect to the print server.
