Access denied to previously utilized networked printers

[Mike]

All my networked printers all of a sudden went "access
denied, unable to connect". All other networked resouces
are still availble and functioning fine. Our company IT
folks have not been able to fix this problem. This is
with Windows 2000 and a laptop/docking station.
Thanks

unfortunatly i donot have the answer-but also have the
same problem-but for my user its only one specific
printer that says 'access denied' and like you all other
network features work. (theres is even another maped
drive to the same machine the printer si on!!) so i would
love any suggestions as well!!

I have the answer if you can still print, this is most likely an issue with
the spooler service on the Server getting denied access to the client.
