I have a situation where users authenticate to a samba domain on Windows 2000 clients, but are unable to print to printers that are attached to Windows 2000 PC's (also part of the domain) and being shared. If I login as a user who has sysadmin priviliges there is no problem. If I login as a normal user to a PC, and this printer has a default printer setup, which is in effect a share from another PC, the normal user does not pick up this (i.e. if you view start --> settings --> printers, the machines default printer is not present). If I add the printer manually I can see the printer, but when I try printing although the job appears to be accepted nothing actually prints out. Thanks for any help, CIM.
hello all.
i apologize if im reposting this problem, but i could not find any
solution in the archives ;) .
i have upgraded my samba server from 2.0.7 to 2.2.8a, on a SunOs 2.7 .
im having the following problem:
some users cannot access the printer shares.
when i open the start->settings->printers, i get a
"printer not found on server, unable to connect" .
(clients are win2k)
when another user logs in to the same machine (using terminal services)
she _can_ access these shares.
can someone please help me? im lost.....
thanks.
p.s. please cc me, im not registered to the list.
