The way it worked before: Administrator would install printers into an
NT workstation. Those printers would be able to be used by any user
who logs into that machine. Users would inherit whichever printer set
is installed on the machine they're using. The printers were named
"Printername on Servername". So, were these network or local printers?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. My users can't install printers.
Administrator can install printers, but users can't see them. What has
changed? Where can I look to find this *something* that has changed?
Is it a domain administration, policy, group issue? Is it some weird
mismatch between driver types?

I'd really rather not automate anything until I get it working manually.
