Too funny, I was just about to type up the exact same question. I ran into 
this same scenario last night. The only thing that I found different was 
between 2 different printers. In my case the printers are:

Canon iR3245
HP Officejet 8600

So I deployed the iR3245 first via GPO using the Print Management method 
and none of the users received the mapping. But I could map the printer 
manually. So I finally decided to test using the 2nd printer, using the 
same method and the OfficeJet mapped successfully. I then went and 
published the iR3245 via GPO preferences, and that worked.  The only thing 
I can think of is that for some reason its a driver issue, but I can't 
think of what that would be.

Not sure if this is relavent, but this is a ThinClient environment. All 
Hyper-V hosts with RDS and clients are Wyse C10LE.  All servers are 
Windows 2008 R2.

Subject:        Deploying Printers in Group Policy not working for 
non-admins



Good Afternoon.

I'm deploying printers using Group Policy. We have Windows Server 20008 R2 
Domain controllers and Windows 7 desktops. I have a new lab that I wanted 
to deploy the network printers. In this one lab, for some reason, 
Administrators see the printers. Non-admins do not.

I am using the Print Management GUI to deploy the printers. I have them 
deployed via a Group Policy that is assigned to all computers in an OU, 
not users. The printers are being setup as TCP/IP printers and the drivers 
are being distributed by the print server.

Now... why is this working in all of my labs that I have setup but this 
one? And why only Admins? Has anybody else run into this problem?
