Somewhat off-topic, but…. Given your target population of laptops that move around among various wireless networks you might be interested in these printing routines as well. I have a set of handlers that will automatically set the default printer to whatever printer is available, either by USB or wireless. This allows one-click printing without any printer dialog. It uses shell calls and I have only used it on the Mac, as I don't have a Windows machine. Don't know if you could adapt it somehow for Windows. Email me off list if you want the scripts.
