Printer availability to all users of system

When I log on to a Windows XP Pro system and install a
printer that printer only shows up for the profile I
logged in under. If another user logs into the same
system, they do not see the new printer. How can a
printer installed by one user be made available to all
users of a system. Generally networked printers.

Thanks in advance

Alan,
Thanks for the reply; I looked in the FAQ's for XP but
didn't see anything. I looked at Knowledge Base article
319974 - Create a Custom Default User Profile and 307016 -
Cannot Set UP a Default Network Printer for all Windows XP
Users.

Both seemed to have elements of what I want, but don't
necessarily want the whole profile, just the printers. Is
the second one there what I am looking for.

Thanks again
