Hi,
I need to set a given printer as the default printer for all my users on
my TS. I do not want to tell ecah user how to do it.Is there a setting or a
script I can use?


Thanks.

Setting the default printer is easiest done within the users
logon script. You'll need some sort of utility to do this:
Defprint.exe controls local printers (local to the TS), Con2prt.exe
controls
network printers, or use a KiXtart script.

Examples (check for correct syntax!)

if %Clientname% == CLIENT01 DefPrint.exe /d "HP OfficeJet"

if %clientname% == CLIENT01 con2prt.exe \\PrintServer\printer01

if %clientname% = "CLIENT01"
SetDefaultPrinter ("\\TS\printer01")
endif

Defprint.exe can be downloaded here:
http://www.dcug.de/phpnuke/html/modules.php?
name=Downloads&d_op=MostPopular

con2prt.exe is part of the NT Resource Kit.
KiXtart can be downloaded from http://www.kixtart.org

Or use rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry:

Hi, I have tried the DefPrint.exe in a bat file when the user logs in, but I
get a "access denied" error when its not the local admin. I added a user to
the local Admin group and same thing.

Check the permissions on the printer.
Can the user manually define this printer as the default printer?
