I would double check that.  In my experience, this
is not the case (and I just double checked).  Printer
connections are stored on a per user basis no matter
who makes them.  Only local printers are available to
all users on a workstation.

Not really.  The drivers are installed on the server an
downloaded to the client on demand by the spooler service.
You cannot view the printer properties unless the driver
has been downloaded and installed on the client. At least
not the driver specific properties.
