Windows 2003 Domain, desktops are placed into OUs, OUs have .cmd files that assign network printers. E.g., you’re in room 101, so your computer lab gets the printer for room 101, and printers are per machine, not user. We found the printui dll commands worked quite well for this with the /y /ga switches. It runs as a startup script, and works well. However, when we try to add a second printer (e.g., lexmark is default, colour dell is secondary), the colour dell *always* goes default. I’ve tried removing the /y from the command, tried switching the order of the startup script processing order in group policy, even put pause commands to make sure the lexmark one gets added first, then finishes, then have the dell one.
anyway, bottom line is: has anyone gotten the printui command to work properly with two network globally added printers?
thanks
