I work as an it administrator. setting up printer on one normal user
making up a mess for me. the pc is actually meant for sharing among
the user's department. Every time each different users log-in we have
set-up the printer again and again. If there are 20 users using the
same PC we have to set-up the printer 20 times.

I expected that by setting up the printer by using administrator
account it will stay for all users but it did not. Can anybody help
me?
 
Standard users have the ability to add their own printers.
Is there a reason why you're not having the users do it themselves?

Am I right to assume they are adding a network printer and using profiles?

If so this is the correct behaviour. Each user may have to set up the
printer but at any PC on your network they will now have the printer
already.

To set up a printer that is already on the individual PC for any user you
must add the printer locally. To do this you need to create a local port
that points to your networked printer.
 
Actually the PC itself is used by multiple users. FYI at my place the
computer literacy is still bad. So they do not know how to set-up the
printer themselves.

how to make the setting stay for all users who log-in into the
computer? Or is there any problems with the computer?
