In XP or 2000 why can I not set a printer mapping in the local machine add a printer wizard as local administrator as we were able to do in NT4.0.(eg. \\servername\prnter. This made the printer part of the local machine, and who ever logs on to thismachine will have this printer.

I had a similar problem in a win2k network when one person wanted access to another person's printer that he didn't normally have. When trying to set up the network printer it didn't show the correct path and in fact showed an older printer that was no longer connected to the machine sharing the printer. I could see the correct printer and path in my network places however and simply entered the path and printer name manually.
