Access denied, unable to connect

[Will Johnson]

I have a NT user using a printer on a 2000 domain. The
printer is saying "Access denied, unable to connect to the
printer". The only thing is, the user can print to the
printer. I've deleted the printer and added it back and
still the printer is saying "Access denied". Has any one
ever seen this and is there away to clear this up? I've
talked to a few people and they thing the problem is the
rights to the printer. I have giving full control to the
printer and still get access denied, but yet the printer
prints.

PS. Looking for the quick fix.

Thank you,

Will Johnson

Check the Local Security Policy on that PC. Expand "Local
Policies" & "User Rights Assignment".

Add "Everyone" to "Access this computer from the network"
and "Log on Locally".

This happened to us to. When the pc's don'e have those set
to "Everyone", The PC can't update the Printer status back
to the server, or something like that. Hope this helps.
