Access Denied to printer

G

Guest

I have a small domain setup using Server 2003 and windows XP Pro machines. One of the XP Pro machines has started to give me an access denied message when printing to a local printer. I have uninstalled the printer and re-installed, but still the same problem. It works fine when another machine prints to this shared printer. The problem only occurs when you are working from the local machine. I have checked permissions and everything seems fine. Any ideas?

Check to ensure that the systems in question are assigned
in an OU correctly and have appropriately assigned
permission to the print object in AD . Your running a DNS
server, which is also your print server, being MS
2003Server, if you have setup an OU, make sure the machine
in quesion is part of the OU as well.? Another
suggestion, set the printers up to use tcp/ip print
services, assuming they are network printers.

If printers are on local machine shares, set those shares
as objects to the server AD.

I hope this helps
