Unable to install network printer
Hello,
I've a problem installing network printers. When I had only a Windows 2000 environment, with clients windows 2000 and server windows 2000, a normal user (without admin rights) was able to install network printers. Now, I'm implementing Windows Xp sp2 clients inside my network, and this clients are unable to install network printers (intalled and shared from the windows 2000 adv srv). When a user try to connect to a printer, the message is: "A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator." Thinking that was something inside a gp, I've created a new ou with a blank gp and inserted inside it a pc and a user, but the result is the same. Using gp's instrument to look if some policies had been applied, everything was "not defined". I've found this kb: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888046/en-us http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319939/en-us but they don't work... My printer server is a windows 2000 advanced server in cluster with a same server. And the new clients are all Windows XP sp2. All pc/server are updated with SUS. Any idea? Tnx |

Unable to install network printer
Since the print server is a clustered machine make sure that kerberos is
enabled on the clustered network name. The issue is the client cannot determine if the print server is in the same domain as the client and the Point and Print Restriction policy is blocking the driver installation. the policy is under User Configuration, Admin Templates, Control Panel, Printers -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
