Sahib Sahib Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-01-13 Posts: 15 Loc: England	Sorry this is off topic, i work in a school and we have just got some new windows2000 PC's. Have installed the printer through the administrator account, but when a student tries to print says 'There is no printer installed'. Could this be resolved through Kix? if anyone could help... Thanks

If yes : http://www.scriptlogic.com/Kixtart/htmlhelp/Functions/addprinterconnection.htm and http://www.scriptlogic.com/Kixtart/htmlhelp/Functions/setdefaultprinter.htm to be issued in your logon script. hth _________________________

Sahib Sahib Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-01-13 Posts: 15 Loc: England	Thanks! I set the defult printer within the script at logon, so now it installS the printer for the students. As we have many rooms, i know how to set an enviroment variable called 'Room' so the script checks which room variable the student is logged on to and installs the correct printer! How do i get kix to read this enviroment variable and install the default printer? Sahib
