Problem setting up network printers

I just installed a new terminal server, and I'm having a small printer problem. When I add a printer while logged on as administrator, that printer doesn't show up for other users; each user has to also add the printer. Is there a way to add printers so that they are added for all users?
 
Maybe use a logon script so that the printer is mapped through the script rather than manually.

Are you adding a printer to the terminal server physically, or is it a networked printer? If it's a networked printer you can add the printer to each of the workstations that connect to the terminal server and add the driver to the server (open the printers folder, click on file - server properties - drivers - add then add the appropriate printer driver). If you have connected the printer to the server directly, add the printer from the console - that might help.
