I need to set default printer for 'oper' in all the PCs from a single machine.
Is there any vbscript or command to configure default printer on all PCs remotely so that the users are not disturbed? Share Flag. Main Areas of Contribution:. Track Progress. Earn Credits.

I know this is old, but Li0nel did you run this on each machine? Chad Nov 13, at pm. Any help? I'd recommend none of those because the ongoing maintenance is a real pain. Assuming you have an Active Directory domain you can use Group Policy to deploy printers. If you don't have an AD domain I'd consider writing a script to "connect" to the printers and putting that script into the All Users "Startup" folder of the Start Menu.
The gist of a such a script would be something like:. As far as I know, printer installed by one user will be available to all users who are in the local administrators group. Granted you may not want everyone to be in the local administrators group so you can try using the Power Users group instead.
If you don't want everyone to be in the Power Users group then you'll have to resort to some type of "hack" as Evan has stated. On a side note, if you create a default user profile with the applicable printers installed, those prinnters will be available to every new user profile that's created.
