Everyone,
My students have been sporadically getting the following errors for the
last few weeks. The problem was annoying before, but now it’s getting
out of hand. At any given time I have entire classrooms that receive
this error, and at other times it’s only one or two in the class.
The error they get when trying to add a printer is:
“You do not have sufficient access to your machine to connect to the
selected printer.”
The only references that I have found from references one of two things
– either trying to add printers in a Terminal session (they aren’t), or
that the local GP is preventing them from adding the printer drivers
(it’s not). A combination of reboots, GPUpdates, and logon/logoffs
sometimes works, but not consistently enough to say any one thing fixes it.
To top it all off, there are time when a student has the printer added
already that it tells them “Unable To Connect”.
No where in any of this do we get an actual “Access Denied” message, and
it never prompts for credentials to try and override the error. We are
experiencing no other known issues with the students receiving the error.
Is there anything anyone can think of that I can try? I am running out
of free brain cells to expend on this one.
Thank you,
Mike
