Hello all, i'm new to this chat forum and I hope someone will actually see this post and be able to help.

I am the administrator of a design lab at the university of iowa. We have 12 dell pc's running windows 2000 professional and they are hooked up to our t3 network. Two of the computer have hp deskjet printers hooked directly to them thru usb, they are set up to be shared. I went through all the computers as an administrator and installed both of the printers on all of the pc's. When I log on as a regular user the printers do not show up in the printers menu, but the printers do show up when i log on as an administrator.

How do I allow all the users to use either of the shared printers?

any advice would be great, please email me at (e-mail address removed)
 
run "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?" from the command line.

Adding printers the way you have done sets them up on a per user profile
basis. By using the method listed above you can install them on a
per-computer basis.
