Printer Installation to all Users

[Guest]

I am on a Windows 2003 AD Domain. We have computer running mostly Windows
2000 SP4 & Windows XP SP2. We have a computer lab with 28 computers. I just
got a new HP 4250n LJ printer. I have installed this printer on one of the
computers, logged in as Administrator. No problems with the install. I
guess what my question is this. Is there a way to install the printer on
the computer and have it automaticlly setup as default for each user that
logs into the machine? Instead of having to restart the computer, log in as
someone else with admin rights, and copying the Administrator's profile to
the default user profile, on each computer. Any info would greatly be
appreciated.

Yes - setup a new bogus profile - put in local admin group - the process
will copy the "default" profile into the bogus profile, logon as bogus user,
setup printer, logoff as bogus user, login as normal admin, take bogus
profile out of admin group, copy bogus profile to default profile. That's
the quick and dirty - there is software to do this in large environments
where sys prepping is involved, but I don't believe you wish to use that
route here.
