I was wondering if there was a way to install a printer
in Windows XP and make it available to all users of that
computer without having to install it over and over.
I can not seem to find any information on this.

THanks,

Local printers should be available to all users by default.

Network printers aren't. See

around this issue.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

another. Researched answer given.........and walla.
