Best way to add a printer to a network?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



In a small office environment with a W2003 DC, what is the best way to add a
network attached (ethernet based) printer? What steps do I take?

It would be really nice if I could somehow load the drivers onto the DC, and
it could make the right drivers available to clients automatically when the
client goes to add the printer. Is this possible? Or does each user have
to run the manufacturer's printer setup software, which can get a bit
technical and prone to error?
