I finally figured it out. I figured that I'd share:
I was sorting my labs AD Computers into OUs. I then assigned a blank group
policy for the printers on that OU. Using the Printer Manager, I installed the
printers and drivers as a TCP/IP printer on my print server. I then used the

Drivers would be available via the ADMIN$ share of the machine, I would
expect.
Thanks for the follow-up. Much appreciated. http://xkcd.com/979/

Okay, I'll take that answer... but then why wouldn't the printer be installed
once the admin logged in? Why do the printers disappear afterwards? And why
isn't there any good data about the failure in the event

That is bad.
Worse is when you find a post about the problem you are looking for a
solution for only to have the final post being Figured it out and no
further info supplied.

What's weirder is if you search for an issue, find a post that turns out to be
your own, and then also find you solved the problem years ago but have
subsequently forgotten the solution:

What happens if the student tries to install the printer manually? Does it
complete or does it bomb out?

As student's are not admins, they don't have the option to install the
printers. Especially as I'm trying to install them via IP.
I'm about to install the printers via script, as they need printers working,
with or without group policy.

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
Here are some more oddities for this lab:
1) The printers are an HP Laserjet 4250 and a HP Color Laserjet 4700. We have
other labs with the same model printers deployed from the same print server and
this problem does not exist with them.
2) The printers show up if I log in as an
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
I always deploy printers to users via Users -- GPO Preferences. I never
tried your method, but user assignments work well here.
