When I publish a network printer from a print server to the whole "domain users", the printer doesn't appear for the users (it is not published).

When I publish the same printer, not for "domain users" but for one specific user on the domain, it works...

Does someone know why?

What do you mean by "Publish Printer"? Are you publishing the Printers & Faxes Control Panel?

Since network printers are part of each individual's profile, setting up one in your profile won't add that ptinter to any other user's profile.

If you want to add a network printer to every user's profile you either need to add this printer to each MetaFrame Server as a TCP/IP Printer (basically making the MF Server a print server) or script the printer install when users logon.

No I publish printers via Printer Management/printers. I imported printers from my print servers. I double click the printer in the list (imported) and choose the users on the domain I want to access this printer. If I chosse domain users, it doesn't work. If I choose users from the domain one by one, it works.
