I second what Frosty555 said, You should only deploy printers via GPP (Group Policy Preferences) <b>IF</b> you want to control what printer is set as standard for the users.<br />
<br />
Otherwise use Print Managment Console to deploy the printers. The difference being that with Print Management Console you will need to deploy PushPrinterconnections.exe<wbr /> <b>IF</b> you have Windows XP clients. Also the other difference is that you cannoit steer the default printer this way.

What the Difference between <br />
1- Create <br />
2- Replace<br />
3- Update <br />
<br />
In our deployment we are going to use Update but if the user change the Default Printers after log off and log in or restart does it will come back again as group policy or no ?<br />
