I've just installed a new printer on a NT 4.0 workstation and have it set up as a shared printer. How can I easily setup this printer for all users of this workstation without manually logging in as each user and setting up this printer.

quick clarification:

1. will different ppl be logging in as different users on that one workstation? (if so, you don't need to share the printer. you'll need to add it while logged in. no way of going around it)

2. if you're sharing with others on the network, then simply by sharing, all others on the NT platform will be able to add it w/o the cd.

Try this: Open up Printers and drag the printer icon to the screen (desktop) and then place a copy of it in the Desktop folder (directory) of "All Users" and "Default User" profiles. Then, anyone logging on to the workstation should have this printer to print to.
