Hi All, Is there any way of creating a GPO to remove all shared printers from a user? I am going to be using GPP to deploy printers to the users which are now on a different print server so I would like to remove all the old shared printers as they will show in an offline state. Regards, Nathan

We use a simple login vbscript to tidy up old print queues. I suspect you could also do this using GPP if you set the mode to delete but haven't tested this myself.

You can use a GPP to remove them as well.
