Assigning Printer when user logs into Windows terminal server

Is there a way that when a user logs into a Windows terminal server I could assign that user a specific printer.

In this case the printer that we would like to always make the default is named "Laserfiche Snapshot 8"

YOu can do this via a group policy or batch script.

Here is a URL with some additional information from MS TechNet.

printers
add new printer
local printer- untick auto detection
add new local port
enter \\servername\sharename
give it the drivers it requires
and the printer now is a 'local' printer and all users will get it

alternative use a default user profile and add the printers during the setup process
