Registry to Add IP Printers

Hey All,
Does anyone know a script/registry entry where I can execute it to install various types of printers on different IP Address.
Can any one help?

What OS?
For Microsoft the drivers that came with the printer should handle that in the setup. When installing the drivers it should ask whether it is a local or remote printer. Use remote and follow through there.

Yeah It's Microsoft (2000/XP). I want to be able to deploy a single genreal SOE to the whole building (5 Levels). They have a central printing location on each floor. I want to be able to assign people on the floor using either a group policy or ZEN (last resort) via deparments then deploy a group batch file to install the printers... Instead of making 20 different SOEs coz the printers are different with other minor stuff.
Cheers.

you should be using active directory for this so you define the printer once (at a centralised printer server) and allow/deny access based on group permissions etc...
ADS lets you define all your access/restrictions during logon rather than relying on users to run a batch file or requiring a local tech todo it...
if you're reticent to use an enterprice server (and i would be)... have a look at LDAP servers runing on unix servers providing the authentication and 'directory' information like location of network printers - then using cheapo linux boxes to privide print queues/servers using CUPS and/or Samba.

Thanks beterthenu, that is what I was looking for but didn't know what to look for! Now I have to figure out how to deploy it with Symantec Ghost (how to use AI) and all is set (When I go to work after 4th January)...
Cheers.

RIS would much better than ghost. Of couse only if your workstations are MS OS'
ZEN is also nice, but not as fast.
