Kind of confused on this one. I know I can do it but having trouble doing it:

I need a group policy that allows certain computers to default to certain printers but it must install them for all users who use that pc.

any help is good

Thanks,

I have never seen a GPO that sets default printer.

if the printers are network printers then you would need to install the printer as local admin then copy the profile to default user. Then when any new accounts are created on the machine the user will automatically get the printer. Thanks

Would roaming profiles take care of that as well.

could not tell you since we do not use roaming profiles due to the fact that we want to know where our users are logging on at. This forces them to make us set there profile up for them. Thanks
