I know how to install and configure network printer but i want to know the way through which i can install network printers on multiple machine at once. "Nsondaty" yo udidn't catch my question :(.
Depending on how many computers you need to add the printer to it may be easier to do them individually. However if you want a script to install the printer you can find details here:
http://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/1056-install-network-printer
Basically you will need to download the INF drivers and create a batch script that utilizes cscript to install the printer for you. It's a bit of work for a few computers, but if you're using a system where you can push updates or would rather walk around with a thumb drive ( or have a lackie do it for you :-) ), then this might be the solution for you.
