Is it possible to use Kix as a way of a user selecting a printer at logon.

eg depending on machine name kix generates a list of printers that that machne can print to and the user selects which one to install at login.

All printers will be networked printers

Just mapping the printer closest to the user is sufficient in my case. If they want an extra printer mapped I just add a line to the script. Must be within normal limits though, no need to map 20 printers.

Maybe you should take a look at kixforms for this.
Create a form with a listbox or combobox with the printers loaded in it at startup. Let the user select a printer and pres the OK button.

Here is an interesting approach on this.. Probably a bit dated, but should give you the idea..
