Hi,
I assume that you want add a network printer to users profiles not a local attached printer (a local printer, default is available for all users of this workstation).
Adding a network printer:
1. Every user must add this network printer.
2. Create a local user, logon with this account, add printer, logon local with admin account, copy this profile over the All users profile.
3. Use:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\workstation /n\\printserver\printername /j"LanMan Print Services"

Try logging on as local admin. and add the printer as a local printer. When slecting a port, add a local port and configure \\computername\printername ) or add tcp/ip port and configure.
Now, the printer will show up in all profiles.

I would use a login script to set this printer up for each user. This way you can set up which groups are assigned to what printer. Here is a JScript logon script to add the printer.
var wshNetwork;
var strPrinterPath;
var strProgID;
strProgID = "WScript.Network";
strPrinterPath = "\\\\ServerName\\ShareName";
try {
wshNetwork = new ActiveXObject(strProgID);
}
catch (e) {
WScript.Echo("Failed to create ActiveX Object: " + strProgID);
WScript.Quit(0);
}
try {
wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(strPrinterPath);
}
catch(e) {
WScript.Echo("Failed to add printer connection to: " + strPrinterPath);
WScript.Quit(0);
}
wshNetwork = null;
