PRINTERS

[Alberto Brivio]

Dear All,

when I try to add a printer Organisational Unit, system returns the
following error code:



"This printer cannot be published. To publish printers in Windows 2000
computers, use the Printer Folder"


I have another domain, but in this one the above operation runs succesfully.


Please, anyone of you could give me an idea?


Thanks

ON a Win 2000 or 2003 machine's printer properties, Share tab, as long as
the box is checked to publish the printer, it is added into AD. I am
assuming you already checked to make sure that checkbox is checked.

Are there any errors in the Event viewer on any of the DCs? Check the File
Replication, Directory Service, System and DNS logs. Please post the Event
IDs and the Source.

Yes, that checkbox is checked.
I have created Printer folders using ADSI Edit following MS instructions,
but the result is the same.
No error code, no event vievew at all !!

I can bypass this problem just finding for printers in the entire
directory, then selecting all of them I can move themselves
in the Printer folders, but I really don't know if this action is
"suitable" for active directory

Alberto, if you go into ADUC, select under the View menu, 'View Users and
objects as Containers", then in the left window pane, select the machine
that you have the printes installed on, do you see the printer in the right
hand side of the ADUC window pane?
