Re: Full Security - mapping shared printer...

Thanks for this simple fix. All I had to do was login as a member of the
Administrators group and map all printers that could possibly be mapped by a
non-Administrator. This left the drivers on the terminal server and then I
could login as a non-Administrator and map any printer that had been
previously mapped by the Administrators group member.

Can't say that I am a printer guru, but it certainly sounds like a
problem with the driver.
I would try this: install the printer on the TS while logged in as
Administrator. Then remove the printer again, but keep the driver.
This assumes that you are comfortable with this particular driver
on your TS.

This is basically a repost from the AD group. But I have
narrowed it down to a terminal server thing.

I have Full Security enabled on a Windows 2003 R2 Terminal
Server. When I login as a non-administrator I cannot map a
particular printer that is shared from a Windows 2003 Storage
Server. I have used regmon and filemon and exterminated the
"ACCESS DENIED" messages but I still get:

"You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect
to the selected printer."

Now, I know this is directly related to the Full Security
because I can login with the same user on a Terminal Server with
"Relaxed Security" and map the same printer without issue. The
strange thing is that it only happens with this one printer. I
can map other printers from the same print server without issue
as well.

I am at the end of my TroubleShooting skills. There is no way
that I can make everyone a local admin and there is no way that
I am enabling "Relaxed Security." Maybe one of you gurus can
point me to a couple other places to look for permission
problems. Or perhaps someone can explain exactly what happens
when a user tries to map a printer (where does the driver get
written to? is it printer specific? does it write to the
registry? where?).

Thanks for any comments and suggestions.
