Lanier Printing Issues
Here's the scoop. We have added several Lanier printers
(model 2138), Copier/Printers (5635) and Printer/Fax/copier (5613) combos to our network (NT Domain). We also have many HP Laserjets as well. Our printers are shared off a Win2003 print server. We are also running WinXP Pro. Our users are effectively Powerusers (we created a DesktopPowerusers domain group, added the users, and then added the domain group to the local Powerusers group on the PC). This has worked well and users can attach to any networked HP printer. However, when trying to attach to any Lanier model, an error appears "A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue...." If the user is logged on as administrator, they are able to connect. Any Ideas??? |

Lanier Printing Issues
There is a policy on XP SP1 that prevents true connections to "untrusted"
(not in the same domain forest) servers. Since the HP driver is in the driver.cab file on the client, the driver is added from the local client rather than copying the driver from the server. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;319939 Description of the Point and Print Restrictions Policy Setting in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP a.. By default, this policy setting is not configured. If you do not configure this policy setting, users cannot download Point and Print drivers from computers that are not in their Active Directory forest. The result of not configuring the setting is the same as enabling the policy and setting it to Users can only Point and Print to machines in their Forest. The issue you are experiencing is fixed on XP SP2 The issue is that LookupAccountName does not work for machine accounts on NT4 hosted Domains. -- 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.
