I have windows 2000 workstations and a Win Nt 4.0 Printer Server. Every user that logs on has to setup the printers they want. If a new user logs into that PC for the first time, they have to add the printers. IS there away I can set the printer up for the whole machine. And no matter who logs in they will have access to all Printers?

You can use a logon script to acomplish this. You cannot to my knowledge setup a netwrok printer to be machine specific.

There is a utitlity in the Windows 2000 resource kit to write a script to add the printers you want. I think its called printer.exe

Log on locally to the workstation (as Admin).
Assign printers, they will appear to whoever logs on after that.

Create the printers as the local administrator, and everybody will have those printers in their profile.
