Browsing printers

[kaul1jos]

Can someone help me?

We have a large domain on several subnets with a bdc with WINS on each subnet and serveral workstations up to 200 on each subnet.
There are also a lot of printers in the domain.

I would prefer that the users in a subnet only can see the printers in their subnet. How can I do this???

You could do it using share permissions. Create a group for the users on each subnet (global) and place the appropriate users in the group.

When a printer is shared in Windows NT, the "Everyone" group gets "Print" permission to it. This, of course, includes everybody. For each printer, remove the "Everyone" permission and grant specific print permission to the subnet groups you created.

If a user has no permission to a printer he can't even see it...
