[Samba] WinY2k Access Denied on Printing

[Van Sickler, Jim]

Is this documented anywhere in layman's terms?

(NT/2k considers a Printer Connection as a 
different thing that a local printer)

1.  Which section of the registry is the proper
location for each type of printer.

2.  How to install a Printer Connection for
all users on the PC (not just CurrentUser)

3.  Advantages/disadvantages of both types
when printing to network printers via samba,
lpr, etc
