    I have a HP network printer that I need to install on 40 machines, its gonna take me ages to do each on manually, is it possible to script the install if I know the settings?

    firstly this should probably be in programming and development

    im not an expert ive worked with large machine networks based around a windows2000 server and the admin there was able to install printers onto multiple machines easily as the printers where all managed by the server. He added something into the network login script i think.

    hopefully someone else will be able to add a bit more detail.
