WinNT 4.0 and printers

Normally when an administrator installs a printer dirver on NT4 Workstation, it is available to all users who log on there.
Or did u try to add a shared printer from a print server? That is not clear. Please clarify.

Normally a printer 'installed' on a NT4 WkS by administrator is available to all users who log on to that system.
But if you create a 'connection' to a printer on another print server, it will be available only to the user who 'connected' it. If this is the case i am not sure of the solution.

Sorry. Shared printer on a print server. Not a local printer. Currently we have to make the user a "local administrator" or "power user" to add a network printer.

This is a bassackwards way of doing this, but:
If the print server in question is a "little grey box" of the HP JetDirect or Intel NetPort ilk, perhaps the best approach is to use the LPR service on the workstation, create a local printer with a TCP/IP port directed to the grey box. Plan B - if it's shared off an NT Server, use the steps above, but bung the LPD service on the NT Server, and direct the local LPR port to that.
