Select a printer

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

Re: Select a printer

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..
