script to set default printer

[Brian]

I'm using a combination of vb scripts and the printui.dll
command to delete old printers and add new printers for
all user profiles on our XP workstations. The last thing
remaining is to be able to set the default printer across
all users. Does anyone know of a script that will do
this. When I tried using printui it only set it for the
current user.
Thanks.

Put your script in the RunOnce key for the Default User's
profile. That way, as new profiles are created, they will
automatically get that default printer installed.

For existing users: You could send an e-mail with a link
to your script and instructions to run it themselves.
