I have a NT Workstation where multiple users log on to access network resources in a Domain Envirornment. If I install an additional Network Printer, how do I make it available to the users that have already established local profiles on the workstation without having to have that user log on and connect to that new printer.

Log on as admin on the workstation and install the printer and then go to profiles winnt\profiles\admin and copy the printer to all users profiles, that should do the trick, otherwise copy to every individual profile

Good luck

If you use copy Profiles, you will copy all of the settings of the selected profile, how do you copy only the printer

Network printers settings are store within the registry. I guess the only way to do it is to use logon scripts, detect the workstation the user logon to, and add the printer from the script.

Log on to the workstation as an administrator then add the printer all of the other users should have access.
