Hi all,

I have been using group policies to assign printers to users via a login script. However, I have several users who move around the building and work on various machines.

I have set up a roaming profile for them which gives them their default printer, but that may be across the building.

I would like to assign printers to PCs rather than people. Is there a way to do this via group policy. I tried a policy that assigns a printer to a PC in a particular OU, but it does not show up for the user.

Any ideas?

You need to set printers via Login scripts using VBS so you can test the PC name and then install a shared printer for that user. VBS is best for this.
