I am also having this issue with mandatory profiles. When I log in
with an mandatory account to a machine ( which has two three lexmark
tcp/ip printers installed on it ) how does it determine which printer is
the one going to be set as the default.
I think the list of printers installed on an NT machine is stored
in :
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers and the user
setting is stored in :
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows\Device ( another
list of printer stored in
HKCU\Sw\MS\WinNT\PrinterPorts
How does the machine emunerate HKLM and decide which one is set as
default? Can we apply a weighting somehow to force
it??

Hello,
i was wondering if anyone knows a way to
have machines print to a specific printer no matter who logs on.
for example we have a computer lab and each student has their own
account. they have a roaming profile so they can log into any
comuter in the school and retain settings etc. server is w2k sp2
and workstations are w2k pro and nt 4.0. is there a way so when
they log into one of the lab computers it only captures the printers in
the lab, when they go to the library they only capture the library
printers, etc? could it possibly be in group policy for
machines? any help is greatly appreciated..
