Hi,

I use a batch file as a startup script on my computers. I also use it
to set the default printer depending on the Room they are in.
VBScripts don’t work to load printers on startup.

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /q /n "\\Server\printer"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n "\\Server\printer"

I also enable group policy loopback mode and under the User config
section of the Computer GP I set it as well to make sure the user gets
the right printer when logging onto that machine.

Cheers,

Lara
