Why can't I see a printer on my network?

Hello I have just installed an HP LaserJet p2015d printer onto our network. When I installed a p2015dn it installed without any issues. However, with the d2015d I have installed the driver software on all of our PCs that need acces to this printer and have been able to use it while logged on as administrator at any of these PCs. But when I or a colleague log on as themselves we can't see this new printer. When I try to Add a printer thru Windows it doesn't see this new printer on the network. It fact it doesn't see the previously installed p2015dn even though this shown in my list of printers and I can print to it ( this is true of other users too ). What Add Printer does see is two old printers which we no longer have.
