Missing "Add a Printer" icon, HELP!

[Guest]

after joining my XP computers to a new Active Directory
domain, everything works fine except I can't add a network
printer because the add a printer icon is missing.
Anybody has any clue how to solve this problem? any clue
where the add a printer icon is stored in the system?
Please help!

You should be able to go to File and chose the option
there. If not, I have no clue. Hope this helps.

Um, if the option isn't there after you go to File, maybe
you don't have the rights to do it and you have to change
your access rights. Or sign on as administrator.

I have domain admin rights. The icon is not in
start/settings/printers
