Network Printer not showing for all users

Question

Tuesday, October 25, 2016 2:56 PM

After installing the network printer (which is located on a 2008r2 print server) via my account, which has admin rights, when my users log in the printer does not show in their printer list and of course, they can't add it since they are just users. How do I install this globally on a computer running Windows 10 Pro?

How are you installing the printer? If you are double clicking it on the print server and installing it, that only installs for the current user. If you install it via Settings > Devices then that will show for all users on that PC. Alternatively search for Print Management and use that.

For a domain you can use Group Policy to deploy printers to member workstations. Deploying Printers by Using Group Policy explains how to do that using the added functionality 2008.
