Network Printers in TS Session

I am going round in circles now!

I have a W2K TS Server setup in an NT 4 Domain (as a
member).

When a domain user logs on to the TS their NT domain login
script runs and connects 2 network shares on the NT BDC
and then tries to use con2prt to connect a printer share
on the same BDC.

It seems that this user does not have priveleges to create
the printer in the TS session. If I add them to the Local
Admin group on the TS then the printer connects fine - but
I don't want them in the Local Admin group.

Any thoughts how I can get a normal Domain User to be able
to connect to this shared printer from the login script?

TIA

Good thought - but would the user not need to know the
password of the Admin user?
 
I'm sure you could find a way to encrypt the administrator
password or hide it or enter it automatically so that the
user didn't need to know this.

Maybe something like this:

Using PrintUI.dll may work, but I'm almost 99% sure that
you'll have the same permissions problem you already have.

Use PrintUI.dll to install the printer per machine logged on as the
Administrator.

then all who log on will have the printer
