A little background first, I work for a company with 10+ sites while only 2 sites actually are in a domain. Everyday I am getting work orders for adding a ip printers to every machine because they want to print to any printer within their location. I understand the print services within windows server 2008 and how I can deploy them easily through group policy. The problem is the majority do not have the domain infrastructure to do this.
Which leads me to my question of, how and what would be the most painless way of deploying printers to all computers in particular subnets between sites? Create a batch file to add the printers and run it on the each workstation? Create a network share for printers? or it is possible to force adding a new printer over the network without a group policy. Thank you all in advance
