Can anyone help

When i setup a pc to share a printer and then go to another pc to connect to the printer, is there a way of adding the printer for all users of the pc.

when it is setup to print under one profile (Im using Windows 2k Pro) it does not appear. i have tried creating a shortcut into the startup of "All Users" and this doesnt work. The problem is that some of the pc i set this up on can have over 100 users who have already logged in so it is very hard to log in as each user.

Does any one know a quick way to install the printer for all users

I am guessing you are hooking parallel to the printer and using it as a network slave. If you don't have a nic connection to the printer, get one. Or get a jet direct from hp. Windoze 2khas the capability to browse for a network printer. I would send email to browse for the network printer. Put the driver, if needed into a shared file on the main computer. My $.02

you should be able to setup printers in the administrator profile for the other comp and that should work for all profiles under that.
