Yeah the console. It helps if you do a change user when installing anything
that you want all users to have access to. Over the years that is just the
way I've always done it. I install all the drivers of printers I want to
allow on one server in install mode. Delete the actual printer it creates
which does not delete the drivers and then use the Presentation console to
migrate the drivers over to the other servers. I do use mappings to map
printer names like if it is an HP laserjet 1200 PCL 5e I want to use I'll
map PCL 6 and Poscript version names to that.
