setting up printer for multiple users on one machine using..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

I am trying to set up a default network printer on a win xp pro computer for
muliple users. Is there a way to do this without having to log in as each
user and choosing the same printer. Can't i set is up once when i'm logged in
as Admin and not have to go through this for each user?

We also got the same problem. We have a printer attached to a server
computer running microsoft server 2003. We have 3 users (A,B,C) in domain X.
In client computer (name Z) we log in using user A and install the printer,
then we log out. When we log in again to client computer Z using user B, the
logical printer that we just install is not shown (dissapear). We have to
install againg in order for user B to be able to print. The same thing we
have to do for user C.

Is there a way that we installed one time, and every user that log in using
their name into client computer Z will have the printer installed?

Thank You.

This worked perfectly!

However, is there a way to setup this specific printer as the PCs default
printer?

Attempting to use the /y syntax adds the printer but removes the default
checkmark from all printers. Each user will need to go in and set the
printer to be default in this case.
