Roaming profiles have nothing to do with printer installation.

You have two ways:

Do it with con2prt.exe from the resource kit or with printui.dll

con2prt.exe:

printui.dll:

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

it worked. Thank you very much. I used the 2nd one which sets up the printer
everytime you login.
Thanks

Hi,
We have a HP DeskJet printer. Whenever we make this printer as Network
printer, we get junk print requests, [may be because of virus in network]. Is
there any way to avoid these junk print requests? The machine connected to
the printer AntiVirus software and runs WinXP.
Thanks and regards,
