  • I spent a long time at work trying to figureout why xp machines was not picking up deployed printers.

    I finally worked out the issue was pushprinterconnections.exe. this file resides somewhere in system32 and need to be copied to the start up scripts folder and needs to be ran on logon thats weather it's computer config or user config.

    I had a printer deployment setup with pushprinter connection configured for every printer to be deployed to ensure the printers were picked up by xp pc's

  • It will work in XP. There is a special program Microsoft loaded in Server 2003 to make it work. Its in 2003 group policy. Check Technet. We wrote a custom AutoIt program that maps printers and refreshes them every so often.
