Setting up multiple printers on multiple users machines..
I need to set up a number of shared network printers for all the users on a new network (about 200).
The thing is that the new print server wont (and cant) be moved onto the network with all the users and printers untill a certain date.
If I have the makes and models of all printers can I set them up by downloading the drivers in advance and then just configuring the tcp/ip port when i know what the ip addresses will be?
What is the best way/tool for setting a number of printers up on all these users computers automatically?
Thanks,

oBdA is wright the best way is working with loginscripts. I personally work with KixStart scripts because it's simply to understand.
Just use DELPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\Server\Share name printer")
ADDPRINTERCONNECTION(("\\S
to remove and Add a printer.
If you are interested I will help you with the script and configuration off the program KixStart.
