access denied, unable to connect to printer

[Joseph]

Hello, all. I am running W2k pro sp4 on nt4 lan. Have HP
printer on NT print server. In my printers settings
screen, I am showing a networked printer with the
status, "access denied,unable to connect." I am member of
domain admins group, etc. and have checked security on
this and all looks okay. All items still print to the
printer, but this status stays the same. Just appeared
after 3 years of operating. Any ideas? Many thanks to all
who respond!!!!

This is the spooler service on the SERVER getting access denied connecting
to the client machine. Did you lock down security on the client? Has there
been a recent password change?

Allan, thanks for responding. The only thing I have
recently changed is in the local policies Security Options
on the client machine. I changed the Additional
Restrictions for anonymous connections to "No access
without explicit anonymous permissions" per the Microsoft
Baseline Security Analyzer.

I am pretty sure that will break the communication from the spooler. The
client can print, but will not be informed of the job status.
