Sorry Paul000,

Maybe me , but not quite following you.

Is it a case of ...
1) Setting up a shared printer in the directory. E.g. Installing the printer on a print server and then sharing it through the directory so users can see it?

 

[paul000]

yes thats right

thank you

Ok,

I can't remember exactly but it is quite straight forward.

1) Assume the printer is installed.
2) On the print server, right click on the printer > properties
4) There should be a sharing tab.
5) Enter Shared as Name
6) Tick list in directory, they can still connect to the printer even if it is not listed in the directory.
7) On a client machine. Log in as the user.
8) Add printer
9) Network Printer
10) Find in directory if it has been ticked.
11) Find Now.
12) This will list all printers in the directory
13) Select the printer.
14) Complete as required.

The share name will be \\print server name\shared as name.
