Hi,
I am trying to fix my ongoing printer problems.
It seems that regular users (MS Windows XP Pro) wish to be able to add printers. I could have sworn they used to be able to (just by doing 'start/run ... \\sme\printer'), so I guess something has changed.
I have searched for a solution.
One of the search results suggested that installing drivers in the [print$] share would help. I have now done this but it doesn't seem to help. I still get "a policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue" when I try to add a printer as a domain user (works ok as an admin user).
Some of the search results also mentioned something about the security policy, but I am not sure about using MS Windows. I have had a look at the security policies, and there is an entry that looks relevant, but it says 'disabled' (in that it does not restrict anything).
In any case, any user can add a printer from another server, so I think that it must be a samba configuration problem.
Can someone help me?
