Setting up network printers

[Guest]

I have setup a windows 2003 server as a print server. I will be deploying
about 45 workstations that will need to use this print server from day 1 of
their install.
I, also, have another 90 computers that are currently deployed and have been
using a Novell print server, which is going away. Many of these workstations
have had upwards of 20 users that currently use them.
In my test environment, when I log onto the computers as an Administrator to
install a printer, the printer loads and becomes available for the
administrator account that loads the printer. It is not available for any
other user, even new users of the computer, unless they go through the Add
Printer wizard.
What can I do to make these printers available for alll users of particular
computers?
I have twenty networked printers that I have to make available to a variety
of workstations. Not everyone should have access to all printers.
Can the printers be pushed out with Group Policy?
I understand that I can copy a profile across for new users on each of the
new computers; but this is not a workable solution for any of the current
workstations.
Thanks,
John
