- Modify selection of Default Printer
- Posted by Bill Bradley on March 6th, 2008
We assign network printers to our computers. However, when a user logs on a
computer for the first time, the Default Printer selected (by the OS?) is
ALWAYS "Office Document Writer" (we use Office 2003 SP3).
I need to change this automatic assignment to be ANYTHING else besides that,
as, they always call us, when their stuff doesn't print to the network.
Anyway to prevent THIS particular printer from being assigned as the default?
Thanks.

I use con2prt.exe to connect network printers via a logon script file -

CON2PRT: Lets the user disconnect all existing connections to Windows

Usage: CON2PRT [ /? | /h | /f |
[/c \\printserver\share | /cd
\\printserver\share]+]
where:
/? - displays usage.
/h - displays usage.
/f - deletes all existing printer connections.
/c - connects to \\printserver\share printer.
/cd - connects to \\printserver\share printer and sets it as the
default
printer.
