Printer Access

[Hamins]

Hi,

I've just setup a network with Windows2003 Server, and 15 WinXP clients. The server setup is quite simple. Just one server, that fucntions as a DC, DHCP, DNS, File/Print server.

The Active directory structure too is quite simple. Just one main OU, and 2 sub OUs .... one for computer accounts, and the other for user accounts. However, the 2 sub OUs are simply for classifcation purpose only. I have'nt actually assigned individual GPOs for the user, and computer OUs. Two GPOs are assigned ... one on the main OU, and on the Domain Controller OU.

Now, I have setup a HP 1460PCL Laser network printer, and installed it on the server as a share. The problem is that most users can install the printer from the server, and print, but a few user get an access denied when they try installing the shared printer from the server to their PCs.

I wonder why some of the users are facing this problem. All the users and computers have identical rights.

Any idea(s) ?

thnx!!

you sure the permissions on the share and the permissions to the printer include all users [not sure i'm correct here - away from base - i'll check tomorrow]

Yes, I have check and double-checked .... alll users have been granted permissions to access the printer.

Thnx guyz ... Issue resolved. I had denied the users the right to install printer drivers.

However, what baffles me is that I had set the right for the OU, yet some of the users could install and work with the printers ??
