Does anyone know how to automate the process of setting up printer
sharing. I have to set it up on all the PCs in the office basically
doing the same quite time-taking process on every PC. I'm passt the
process of setting up the print server already.
Now it's just Start>PrintersFaxes>Add Printer>Local>NewPort>TCP/
IP>printers IP> Custom> Settings> >Protocol=LPR>
LPRqueueName=PS_USB_xx> OK over and over... Is there a way to get
around with it?

Thanks

Well, I've missed one bit all PCs are XP pro connected via WiFi
router. No server system. The drivers to all 3 printers are already
installed on all the PC's.
 
Have you looked at AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com/)? It's a freeware
mouse and keyboard scripting language that's really useful for automating
stuff like this.
