Assign networked printer by using GPO

Windows 2003 Server and XP workstations

2 networked printers are located in different rooms. I have a GPO for the
student to use 1 printer. But don't know how to resolve the issue for the
2nd one.

Student will move from room to room, how to have a script or policy to map
the printer according to the room location?

Should I use a script to run on local workstation and how?

U can create a new GPO and assign the following script as a user logon script. Some modifications will need to be made to this script but this should get you started.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objPrinter = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Printer").SpawnInstance_
objPrinter.DriverName = "HP LaserJet 4000 Series PS"
objPrinter.PortName = "IP_169.254.110.160"
objPrinter.DeviceID = "ScriptedPrinter"
objPrinter.Location = "USA/Redmond/Building 37/Room 114"
objPrinter.Network = True
objPrinter.Shared = True
objPrinter.ShareName = "ScriptedPrinter"
objPrinter.Put_
