User Profiles and Printers

[Richie]

Allo.
When a user logs out, and then back in again
their "default" printer changes.
It seems that their settings are not being saved to their
profile when they log out.

Any help would be great,
thanks

Here is a vb6 application module script that you can place
int the users profile\start menu\programs\startup forlder
set the default printer at logon.
Paste this code in a module in VB6, and compile an .exe

Public Sub Main()
' 'Debug.Print Printers(0).Name
' Dim i As Integer
' For i = 0 To Printers.Count - 1
' Debug.Print Printers(i).DeviceName
' Next i
' End
' Stop
Dim net As Object
'Add delay for auto-client created printers to map.
Wait (5)
Set net = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
'Sets the name of the default printer to choose / change
{dns} {printername}
'Name must be exact. DNS can be an IP if you don't have a
DNS registered.
net.SetDefaultPrinter "\\http://{DNS}\{printername}"

Set net = Nothing
End


End Sub
Function Wait(Delay As Long)

Dim DelayEnd As Double

DelayEnd = DateAdd("s", Delay, Now)
While DateDiff("s", Now, DelayEnd) > 0
Wend

End Function
