Alan,
Thanks for the reply; I looked in the FAQ's for XP but
didn't see anything. I looked at Knowledge Base article
319974 - Create a Custom Default User Profile and 307016 -
Cannot Set UP a Default Network Printer for all Windows XP
Users.

Both seemed to have elements of what I want, but don't
necessarily want the whole profile, just the printers. Is
the second one there what I am looking for.

Thanks again
