Improve Logon Time
The normal printer mapping techniques employed in the industry are not designed for speed. Typically users are organized into AD groups, and then a script cycles through checking to see which printer(s) need to be assigned. This can mean a at logon a user is checked against 100's or 1000's of AD groups to find the 1 group that he actually requires.
Printmaps technique performs a per user query. So each user performs 1 query and the result is a list of their required printer assignments.
This results in a faster logon as less processing is performed. This is also reduces the overhead within the environment as logon time.
Printmaps mapping technique performs a Diff check on each logon to improve performance even further by ensuring it does not remap existing printers, while also removing any that are not assinged ensuring a clean printer list.
