Adding a network printer to existing user profiles

[SteveO]

We have an office that had a new network printer installed. The problem is
that there are 5 PC's that approx 10 employees use at different times. All
the users have profiles on the PC's. Is there an easy way to add this printer
to all the profiles without having each user log in and do the setup. The OS
is Windows 2000 Pro.

This is generated by the command to stop and start the print spooler services start/wait sc \\%1 net stop spooler
Does anyone know what is causing this problem. The spooling services don't
stop & start
