HP Laserjet 2100 Question 2

[pQi]

Hi Everyone,

I have setup this printer to be networked. When configuring it on the Windows 2003 Server and listing it in the directory for my users to browse and select it, seems to work fine until they log-off and the printer is gone when logging back into their operating system.

Then they have to go through the process of adding it again, till they log-off. For some reason the printer does not stay in the printers folder...???

Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening or a remedy for me to fix it?

Looking forward to your answers

Thanks!

Sounds like a permissions thing... for whatever reason, your 2003 server isn't allowing the saving of user profiles. Perhaps something you set before, to keep users from adding software/changing desktop/etc. that you "locked down" the profiles?

I'd check in your user policies.....

Thanks Greg, but I am able to use my roaming profiles fine. It seems that I can install the printer but when I log-off it dissapears, strange but no go...

All permissions seem okay, would you have any other ideas that I can look into?

Appreciate your input

I agree with Greg, it's got to be something with the roaming profile policies.

I also agree with Greg. If you log in as a local admin and add the printer does it hold it then?

Thanks for the input guys, now as far as the roaming profiles go, I have removed the profile path from Active Directory and have a local profile on my computer...

Regarding setting this up as local Administrator, not tried it yet, will do tomorrow...and post back with results.

I added myself to the power users group or even the administrators group and it worked!

Thank you for all your help

Glad you got it working and thanks for the star!

See? That's my luck. The post that says "I agree with Greg" gets the star.... and I'm starless. <rofl>

Oh,well.
