C# and Multiple Printer Setup



Hi, I am looking for a good book or source of information on how to best
setup a multiple printer gui. The application I'm working on runs on a
server where each user has their own login. The application requires a
printer to be defined for "WorkOrders", "Checks", "Invoices". Currently
these are all specified in an ini file in the active directory for each
user. I need to build a gui for the user to select which printer they
want to use for the above choices.

I have purchased many C#.Net books over the past six months and none of
them go into how to setup printers for a multi-user environment. Can
someone please point me towards a good book or some other info. on how
to best accomplish this task. My language of choice is c#. I'm not sure
exactly how Active Directory weighs in at what I'm trying to accomplish
here.

P.S. Some of these reports like "PayCheck" need to be sent directly to
the printer with No preview as to speed up the process of printing many
checks at one time.

Info: Our server is MSSQL 2000. We have our business application(Written
in c#) on another server. Users connect to this server via RDC and each
users printers values are stored in an ini file for that user in
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data

I really would like to know what the best practices and/or any viable
solution for this problem is.

Thanks So Much In Advance,
James
