Hi,
In an environment with Novell 5.x, ZFD 3.x and NT/Citrix with NDS for NT installed it appears that the ICA-clients (DOS32 and Win32) have no default network printer, especially with regard to Office97. Each time the user logs on he needs to select a printer.
The printers are managed and created via NWadmin, based on NDPS. Via the NAL the users are able to start Word, Excel, etc.
How can network printers (mentioned in the environment above) be setup as a default printer on a per user basis?

 
Connect them to a printer using the login script of the server they authenticate to. This will depend on whether they authenticate using Windows (NETLOGON\script) or NetWare (SYSTEM or INDIVIDUAL LOGIN SCRIPT).

If you want an example logon script for windows, let me know coz I gotta beauty if ya like scripted solutions.
