Question : Removing renamed (now unwanted) printers from client list on Windows 2000 network

I have renamed a number of printers on our network to make them more recognisable, e.g. HP Laserjet PCL6 to HP Laserjet Library. The new printer names are now appearing in client lists, but so are the OLD ONES! I cannot find a way to remove the former printer names and this is causing untold confusion. How can I prevent the former names appearing in client lists? Users run a batch file when they log on (con2prt) to get their printer list.  Urgent assistance required!

Answer : Removing renamed (now unwanted) printers from client list on Windows 2000 network

It's pretty easy to use and will run on the machines via active directory when the machines start up.  You can add printers this way, too.
Use the code in the previous comment for the following:

Open Notepad.
Copy the script code and paste it into into Notepad.
Make your changes for the printers.
In Notepad, File --> Save As
Change the Save As type to All Files.
Name the file PrinterDelete.vbs (Or something similar)
Close Notepad.
Ensure you know where the file is and that you can access it from a Domain Controller in a minute.

On the Domain Controller, Open Users and Computers.
On the OU of the computers, Right Click --> Properties --> Group Policy Tab
Create a new group policy object Named Delete Printers
Click the + Under Computer Configuration and Next to Windows Settings
Click on Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
In the Right-Hand pane, Right Click on Startup --> Properties
**************
(This next part is important in determining the default location for these type of scripts for your environment)
**************
Click on Show Files
Click the Dropdown Arrow and make note of the path for your own knowledge.
Click on the title bar to close the dropdown box without making a path change
Right click in the bottom pane and select paste (your script will be located properly)
Close the window.
Click on Add --> Browse and choose the script you want.
OK
OK

Right after the machines boot, the printers will be gone.
