Install printers to groups of users or computers by using Group Policy



With SBS 2003, how do I perform the task of installing printers to groups of
users or computers by using Group Policy similar to Server 2003 as shown
below?

To install printers to groups of users or computers by using Group Policy in
Server 2003

click Deploy with Group Policy.
3. In the Deploy with Group Policy dialog box, click Browse, and then choose
a Group Policy object.

user)" check box.
..As a per-machine setting, select the "The computers that this GPO applies
to (per machine)" check box.
