Hi, you might want to look up another post for the same thing. The subject is
"Set default printer", is dated 8/1/2005 2:25 PM PST and is from Bruce
Sanderson, MVP Printing.

Essentially, Bruce is sayint that "The default printer setting is per user
(part of the user's profile)... You may want to put the "rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n printername" command into a logon script or in
a command file in the All Users\Startup folder.

Sorry for the mess.
I got the script for deleting the printer by the following command:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /gd /n"\\server name\printer name

But the problem is that, i am unable to add/remove printer without the admin rights. kindly helme ASAP.

since it is a .bat file i am unable to use the RUNAS opetion also.
