Hi!

Can't you put the shortcut in the "All users desktop" (C:\Documents and
settings\All Users\Desktop)?
And the printers, you can add them via this script. Put it in autostart,
save it as a .vbs file. Or put it in the logon script. The first section off
the scipt removes all printer connections you can remove that section if you
want.

On error resume next
'Removes any printer connection
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Printer")
For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters
    Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    WshNetwork.RemovePrinterConnection objPrinter.Name

Next
'Add the pritners
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\printer"
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server\printer2"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\server\printer"
