thanks coast. will your solution works also on usb printers? will the system automatically detects it when the user plugs in his usb printer? user is using windows 7
Yes it should do, as the driver is present.

Cant you try it on a machine using this method first?

if push comes to shove, send out the disk and then connect via logmein ;-)

Some HP printers will not let you install the drivers this way and NEED you to use the installation package that came with the CD, so a trial and error situation may be of benefit here.
