How do I get the add printer wizard to display a detailed list of printers that would include location?

Thanks,

First the printer needs to be added to a domain, change the properties once added make sure it's been selected to list in directory, and location is added.

in add printer wizard select the "Find printer that isn;t listed" even if it is.

the check "find the printer in directory"

it will list all the printers added to directory and thier location. I was able to chnage the location here too, though i suspect it's because i'm a domain admin on network.

in order to list in directory it needs to be shared or the option under printer properties is not avaliable. It's in printer properties in the share tab.
