Create Default printer for all users with XP and Server2000 1

[fdoty]

I have a school that has 25 computers. Different children login at different locations. I need the printer that is shared off the LPT1 of a 2000 Server printer port to show up under every profile on each Windows XP Pro workstation. Is this possible?

thanks,

Freddy

On each XP Pro, log in as local Admin and add the printer. When the kids log in, they should get that printer...

Theres a better way using CON2PRT in the Logon Script. (Make sure the alternative/point&printer driver is installed OK)
