What is the best way to have a shared printer automatically install for a
user in a Windows 2003 Server/Windows XP Client network? Is there a way to
do it with a logon script or something?

Thanks
-Jason

Hi Jason, there re lots of ways...
The fastest?
-> go to IE,
-> type ctrl-L (this is a shortcut to type in a URL)
-> type \\(the servername)\ (the name of the server that has the share to
the printer)
-> Press Enter
-> Double click on the printer...
Windows XP will automatically load the drivers and set up the printer...

I have never tried it with \\(the servername)\(printer ID), but it should
work as well...

I hope this works for you,
David Bock
