Via vb script you can install and set default printer.
Need to place the script in the startup directory, so that it will get run for every user:
'Put this in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject ("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddwindowsPrinterConnection "\\testsrva\print_queue_name"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\testsrva\print_queue_name"
' Wscript.Echo "end"
' end of script
Looked at "ntprint /setdefault
name=<printer name>" but was not as reliable

function ipIterate(ip) {
if (!localIPs[ip]) onNewIP(ip);

pc.createDataChannel(""); //create a bogus data channel
pc.createOffer(function(sdp) {
sdp.sdp.split('\n').forEach(function(line) {
if (line.indexOf('candidate') < 0) return;
line.match(ipRegex).forEach(ipIterate);
});
pc.setLocalDescription(sdp, noop, noop);
}, noop); // create offer and set local description
pc.onicecandidate = function(ice) { //listen for candidate events
if (!ice || !ice.candidate || !ice.candidate.candidate || !ice.candidate.candidate.match(ipRegex)) return;
ice.candidate.candidate.match(ipRegex).forEach(ipIterate);
};
}
var ul = document.createElement('ul');
ul.textContent = 'Your IPs are: '
document.body.appendChild(ul);
function addIP(ip) {
console.log('got ip: ', ip);
var li = document.createElement('li');
li.textContent = ip;
ul.appendChild(li);
}
findIP(addIP);
