Install Printer on Seperate Machine?
I'm not sure if this is possible, as I would imagine the security risks would be dangerous, but I've been tasked with installing all printers on our various print servers (13 in total) on our Production boxes (8 in total), and it appears to be a boring manual task, especially as selecting all and pressing Enter prompts a dialog, and right clicking and selecting Connect throws an error when it attempts to access private printers.
So, I was wondering if it's possible for me to install them on the target machines via code that will run on my machine. And if it is possible, how to go about it? I know the account credentials for the boxes, so I can use impersonation to run any code I write.
I should state, I would be doing this in C# (not a script) as I can't put anything on the boxes, and my machine is XP and the target boxes are Win2000.

I would have posted back about it, however the company I work for changes their mind constantly, and this project was scrapped.
