A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to

[Mike D]

Hello, I am currently setting up a new network and have
just installed and shared a new HP network printer
(Laserjet 4300 TN) onto the printserver using the jet
direct software supplied.

When I added it to my PC (I'm an administrator) it added
and works fine. When I added it to a users computer it
failed with the error 'A policy is in effect on your
computer which prevents you from connecting to this print
queue. Please contact you system administrator'.

I found KB-319939 and this seemed to be similar, I enabled
the policy.

I then got the user to reboot and try again but got the
same error when adding the printer. The user is in the
Printer Operators group!

I have since tried createing a new user, I logged in and
added the printer and it worked?? but it still doesn't
work for old users!!

Help, thanks in advance.

Perhaps the policy has not yet replicated to all servers.

This still doesn't seem to have replicated! Any other
ideas? Is there anyway to syncronise the domain like in
WINNT Serv 4.0?

I have added the users to the administrators group for now
just so I can set the printer setup up and get things
moving along, but it seems to be taking an age for the new
permissions to take effect!!

Thanks in advance.
