It helps to be familiar with Windows before using Samba.
In Windows, "local" printers are installed per machine, "network" 
printers are installed per user.

Generally default permissions allow Windows users to install network 
printers. If your users can't then something is changed.

Use the rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry stuff in a logon script to 
automate network printer installs.
