Installing a printer to all users.....?

[Guest]

I installed a network printer onto a computer, under my admin account. How do
i a) set this as the default printer for anyone who logs onto this computer?
b)I have other computers in the same room that need to default print to this
printer, how do i make it so every user that logs onto the other computers
has this set as default?

Hi,

a) Each user will have to set that as their default, it will not become the
default automatically for everyone (unless it's the only printer available).

b) Same answer (and really, it was the same question).
