I was researching a slightly different issue, and in the course of discovering what and how were things going wrong, I came across this article that is quite neat.

Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 provide the ability to install a printer using a command line. This is particularly useful when you add or remove a printer from a group of users using a login script or a scheduled event. You can also modify and delete local printers using Windows 2000. The result is that an administrator can control all aspects of a user’s ability to print by having users run a batch file or logon script.
NOTE: Using this command in a login script or a client-launched batch file requires the client computer to be running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. Because the login script runs on the client computer, a Windows NT 4.0 client is unable to process the command.
**NOTE** This can PUSH the settings down to a specific user.
In addition, these commands can be run from an administrator’s workstation or from a server so that the printers are push-installed to the client computers without having to go to the actual computer.

I just can’t help myself, sorry - as an ex-RAAF I have served overseas as well as in the Gulf during ‘90 - ‘94.

Go and crank up Google Earth and navigate to N18 18 E42 48 and you’ll find the Air Base at Khamis Mushayt, big bold and brassy, this was where the F117 Stealth Fighters were based during the Gulf War.

Now compare that with what you can find at N31 05 E34 08 and see if you can spot the difference?

Google Earth still telling you it’s out -of-order? go and sneak a peek at download.com and you should be able to find the exe?
The resolution in London and also in Perth, Aust. is fantastic - Warning - once you start this can be addictive!!
