When I setup network printer for users , do I have to setup printer for each
user login to this machine ? . Each user may have to logon and install
printer separately ?

It seems that way Jey. I have setup 40+ computers in a lab with at least 400
student profiles and much to my dismay the student must install the printer
if they move to another computer and login again. Roaming profiling is out
of the question. I found this in the knowledge base:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307016&Product=winxp

I tried that solution and found no relief. It seems as if the aforemention
may work before you create the profile (accounts). Unfortnately just the
opposite has occured for me...I created the accounts and then found that the
printer wasn't available. If anyone knows how to fix this problem...please
post a solution. I can't believe MS would develop an OS that would do this.

Use rundll32 to setup a per machine connection to the printer. This way
each user that logs onto the machine will get this printer connection
installed. The only gotch ya here is when adding the device with the /ga
switch, you need to remove it with the /gd switch.
