I'm working on setting up several Brother MFC-6490CW printers on Mac OS X 10.5 and every time a new user logs into a computer with the software installed they are forced to setup the printer. Using FSeventer I found that it's writing to two files in ~/Library/Preferences/Brother/ (com.brother.ControlCenter.plist and com.brother.twain.plist).

If I add these files to Workgroup Manager they get added to ~/Library/Preferences instead of the Brother subdirectory (which I expected). I don't see a setting to setup these preferences files in a directory in Workgroup Manager so I'm not sure if this is an option.

For new logins I can put this in the appropriate /System/Library/User Template folder but this doesn't help me for the computers that already have accounts setup on them.

My next step is to write a login hook to copy these files at login but this seems very hacky to me and I didn't know if anyone had a better option.
