    Are the printers mapped to the machine, or the userid?

    That is, Windows allows some resources to only be visible to individual users, not to anyone who uses the machine. If the Administrator id you are using has never had those printer mappings assigned to it, then they will be invisible to it.

    Also, for an Administrator id to have privileges on other machines, it needs to be a Domain Administrator account, not a local Administrator account.
