Default Network Printer Problem?

I work in a school and the computers have multiple users.
I would like to setup the printer on each computer so that
it is installed and connected for each user that logs on.
Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

What I've done so far: I have installed the printer on the
server and have shared it. I went to a client machine and
went through add a printer wizard, the printer installed
and printed, however when I logged off from that user
account (administrator), and logged in as another user,
the printer wasn't available and had to be setup again for
each user. Then if the user moved to another machine, the
same would have to be done.
The printer is a network printer, that plugs directly into
a network socket. (HP LJ 2300dn).

Thanks for your time

Hello;
Have you tried using the "HP Install Network Printer Wizard" software. This
software can be downloaded from the HP support center on the Internet.. It
is free. It is well written, and easy to use. I hope it helps you.
