I have a Windows 2000 peer-to-peer network. I installed a
printer on one machine, shared it, gave access to
everyone. Users who do not have admin rights cannot add
the printer. I've tried everything - these users are not
supposed to have admin rights. Please help!
TIA

Unfortunately, when a network printer is added to a client the first time,
the printer driver has to be installed. In many cases, the driver won't
install unless the user has administrative rights and permissions.

You may find the information at
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterAllUsers.htm useful - shows how to
add a network printer to a client so that any user that logs on can use that
printer without "adding" it.
