Answer:

Try installing your printer via the network admin logon. I've installed my printers as so and it works. Any user loggin on to this system is able to print on this machine.

Or, if you are comfortable enough with registry, copy the hkey from the admin profile to the default user profile. Just make sure to back up the registry before you do this.
