I have not looked at Snow Leopard in any kind of depth yet. So I can  
not confirm this behavior.

As a possible fix you could look at using PrinterSetup to build a  
package which you could then run on all systems which may use this  
printer. Just a possibility.

Otherwise. You may need to show people how to add a printer.  
Regardless, of whether or not you work out a way to automate the setup  
of the printer, knowing how to add a printer is probably a good skill  
people to have, particularly if they are using a laptop,
