Windows domain - Easy printer on a Mac

Hey

We are a business school, who wants to enable Mac users to print from our Windows servers.

At the momemt we are installing the printers on the Mac manually and locally on the mac using smb....

smb://username:password@domainname/server_name.dom.local/printer_name

We have to have them using the username and password for their domain user, as the printer that they are printing to, is a software spooler. So when a student prints to the "printer" called unv_xerox, it ends up i a program for Xerox, and the student can select any printer on the school, type in his / her username, and the print will be printed here.

Needless to say that it works perfectly on a Windows computer, as they can write \\server_name\unv_xerox, type in their username and password, and it works.

Is there anyway to make it easier for the Mac users ?
