Keeping same printers with all user profiles

[leeroyjenkins]

Running Win XP Pro, computers are on a domain.

My question is, what file holds all the printers added to a user
profile? For example:

I have multiple users logging into one machine. I install printers x,
y, and z under one person's profile. If a different person logs into
the same machine, I have to re-add printers.

Is there a way to make the printers carry over and be added to all
users who login to that machine without having to manually add each
printer?

Hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well - we just map the correct printers as needed - at logon. Logon scripts
make life much easier.

Your other option is to just add them to the computer itself - as local
printers. Then all users get them.

Another method would be to create a default user profile (assuming you do
not use the domain wide one) for the computer and all new users get the
printers you had assigned to said account when you created the default user
profile from it.
