In NT4/2000/XP you can create local printers for all users.  You can only 
create shares for individual users.  If you want to create a shared printer 
for all users on a machine you have to have the printer setup for the 
Default User.  Then you have to delete all of the local profiles so when a 
user logs into the machine again they get the Default User settings.

You can also share printers in XP (I am not sure about other windows OS's) 
as lpr then create a local printer on the other machines.
------------- Windows XP -----------------------------------------
Note: Will need to have "Other Network File and Print Services" Windows 
Component installed.

1. Start Registy Editor (regedit.xe)

2. Locate and click the following key in the registyr:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\PRINTERNAME\PrinterDriverData
Where PRINTERNAME is the name of the printer that you want to configure.

3. Uset the appropriate method for your version of Microsoft Windows.
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registy value:

4 Quit Registy Editor.

5. Stop and then restart the TCP/IP Print Server service and the Spooler 
service.

With the other machines you can then create a local LPR port.
