I have some NT 4.0 Workstations with as many as 20 local profiles on them. How can I get a Network printer to show up in all local profiles on a Workstation, without having to install the Network printer separately under each profile.

Start>settings>printers...Add Printer>Local Port>Create new port>type path of the networked printer in the port field>point it to the location of the drivers>You're Done! It installs the network printer as if it were a local printer and it will show up on everyone's profile.
