Default Printer Resets
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: psychonaut2000
The system is an HP VLi8 running Windows 2000 Professional and Novell (client ver. 4.81). There are several network printers installed as well as one local printer (an HP Laserjet 4P). The user wants this local printer to be the default printer and she set's it as such however each time she reboots her machine and logs into windows and novell a different printer is set as default.
Any ideas on what might cause this and how to resolve it are greatly appreciated.

It's easy to do in a script.
Have you checked her logonscripts?
In VB Script:
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Select Case WshNetWork.UserName
Case "Username1"
PrinterPath = "\\Server\Printer1"
PrinterDriver = "PrinterDriver"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Server\Printer1"
Case "Username2"
PrinterPath = "\\Server\Printer2"
PrinterDriver = "PrinterDriver"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PrinterPath, PrinterDriver
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Server\Printer1"
End Select
In the registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Device=Printer1,winspool,LPT1:
