We wrote a printer script for windows xp, but does not work in vista.
Everything I read so far points to Active directory........

As we know some group policies working for XP may not work for Vista. Do you
use GP to apply the script? Or post the script.

We were placing the script in the startup folder in windows xp. Where do
I put the script in Group Policy? Can you use group policy only without
Active Directory?
