Printer setup for local user

[cheer8923]

We have printer P on server S in domain D.

For domain user X logged on to laptop L, we can easily add the printer P on S and print successfully,

For local user Y logged on to laptop L, we can see printer P on S but can NOT add the printer. "Either name is typed wrong or it's not connected."

We also attempted to run as a domain admin to add per machine printer connection:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /c\\machine /n\\machine\printer

However, domain user X and see the printer but local user Y can not see the printer P1. For printer P2, both users can see it but only X can print -- Y's print will never show up at the printer but no error is generated.

1. What am I missing here? Is there any settings I missed?

2. Would it be possible for Y to print using X's identity?

thanks!

Does user y have permissions to add printers...check domain policy or local policy..one or the other could be set to deny permissions to "users

use Y can add printer, but could not print successfully.

What policy entry should I check?

Thanks!

User Y can do the following to add the printer and then print onto laptop L. Go to Printers and Faxes and Add a new printer, click on 'Local printer attached to this computer' and click next, on the Select a Printer Port click 'Create a New Port' and in the Type of Port drop down box, click on 'Standard TCP/IP Port' and click on Next. The Printer Port Wizard appears and follow the instructions placing the Printer name or IP address of the Printer. This should solve your problem.
