My problem is after installing a network printer on to a computer, the
Administrator can see the printer and print but other user groups can not
see the installed printer. The other user groups have premission to print.
What am I not doing right? Do I have to manually add the printer to each user
group?
 
Firstly make sure that the printer can be accessed in a network environment.
Not all printers can.


You should check the 'sharing' properties of the printer from the PC on
which it is connected.

Then go to a network PC and 'add printer', browse the network until it is
identiified.

Typically Xp will automatically identify any network printer and
automatically install it.
 
The printer can be accessed in a network environment. It is in a class room
setting with about ten other computers sharing it. The problem is I can set
it up as Administrator, and see it and use it, but when I log off and Log
back in as a student I can not see it even though I have given that user
group all rights to it. It is just this one pc that it is happening to. The
other ten computers have no problems.
