setup default printer machine wise

Hi:

We have a large office with a thin client environment. Each of these
thin clients have printers - about 50 in all - attatched to them
(printing to standard tcp/ip port).

Time to time users need to move around from one department to another.
When ever they log in using another another client, their session is
transferred to that client. So far so good.

Issue is their default printer still remains the one attatched to
their own client.

How can we set it up, so that when a terminal server/rdp user logs in
using any thin client, the default printer is set to that particular
printer attatched to that particular thin client.

Also, is it possible to have a common address book for all users, so
all can access contacts using Outlook or Outlook Express?

Regards,
Neeraj
