Is there a way to force printer info to clients? I am
running a domain, and I am running a print server.
Problem is pc's take forever to show the printer. Is
there a way to spped this up and force printer update?

Hi,

You could use logon script to add printers (depends on users permissions).

Script is quite simple.

******************
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\Primus\HP4500"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Primus\HP4500"
******************

Replace Primus with name of your printer server. Replace HP4500 with name of
your printer share on printer server.

In last line it should only be printer that you want to set as default.

I hope this helps,

Mike
