I have a computer running Windows 2000 Professional that is shared by multiple users. The problem is, all of them had installed the wrong printer drivers for the attached printer. Is there anyway I can delete and install the correct drivers for eachuser's profile without requesting each user to login individually? The users work different shifts and it's very hard to get them at te same time. I have Administrator rights to the computer.

why don't you use the AD object and computer/user and advertise the software so when they log on into your pc they can install the right software that you already advertize

easiest way is to logon as administrator, create a new user with Administrative access. Login as the new user. Install the printer with the correct drivers, give it a good name to differenciate from the other bad printers. Now log on again as administrator, copy the new users profile to the "all Users" profile folder. delete the new user.
