Printing woes - Log Level 9 still doesn't error!

[Martyn Ranyard]

Here I go, replying to myself again!

I now have a working printer, however there are a couple of things that 
really caused me to worry :

1. When I double click the "Printers" folder on the server I have to wait 
about 5 seconds before the server responds with a list of printers.  Is 
this usual, in which case it should be mentioned in the howtos
2. The documentation should indicate how to add users to the Print 
Administrators NT group.
3. I could write a script to interface with the Add Printer Wizard, but is 
there one already made?

I thought I should report back, even though noone responded originally.
