How do I set a default printer per PC?

Hello,
I need to modify my script to set a default printer for ANYONE who logs into a specific PC -- what is the syntax for that? Most of our script sets printers based upon the group that a user belongs to but this is the first case where we need it set for a specific PC.

Thanks,
Dan

something like

 Code:
if @wksta
  $rc=setdefaultprinter()
endif

What does the $rc mean?

See if this FAQ answers that for you:

Why does the console display zeros and ones (amongst others)?

Oops! In my first response I forgot one important element, the second part of the if statement where it checks for the computername.

 Code:
if @wksta = "TheComputerName"
  $rc=setdefaultprinter()
endif
