I have 25 eMac's that all need to access the one printer. The Printer is installed on one of the eMac's and it's shared. The Other eMac's can access it over the network and print correctly.

What I want to know is how to share or install the Printer on each local Mac so that all the users on the Mac's (Around 10 users per Mac) all get the Printer with me only having to install it once as my Administrator account per eMac.
 
There are two ways I can think of

In your admin account ~/Library/Printers you've got an *.app for the printer
Attempt 1) (the simple)
Try to copy that to /Library/Printers

Attempt 2) (installing for every user)(if Attempt 1 doesn't work)
Copy the *.app to the ~/Library/Printers folder for every user
Copy the *.app to /System/Library/User Templates/English.lproj/Library/Printers which will create it automatically when you create a new user.
