due to the title im not too sure wether is should be here or in programming

neway, my problem

id like to setup an automatic network printer addition file that when the pc boots it searches the network and adds the pre-specifed printer.

the reason i want this is that in CIT the pc's are not setup by our useless tech to the printers we want, and i tend to use the one printer all the time, but the routine of adding the printer to each pc is getting tiresome

so ideas/downloads/tutorials aweh......

What OS?

If it's 95/98 I've a nice small batch file here somewhere that should do the trick (if I can find it)
