How to share printer among client easily

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.terminalserver.client (More info?)

Environment:
1. Win2003 Ts server + client 5.x.x
2. All client has their local HP printer

Is there a (easy) way to let them print to each other ?

It's not good to put all of them to administratos group.

It nessarroy to me because they are in different location and need to
print to each other.

TIA

max.

A solution could be to make all users Printer Operators. Not good,
but better than making the Admins.

Maybe, if you tell why it doesn't work.
Exactly what did you do?
Exactly what error message did you get (if any)?

Vera, it sounds like these are remote clients that are NOT domain members. If this is the case, printing to a remote office whould be contingent upon users having an active RDP Session and a shared printer.

I can't think of any simple way to solve this problem, but would be interested in others who may ave dealt with this kind of situation.

Another option would be to add a free PDF Printer to the terminal server and have users save the output in a specific location or email to the other users.

Max, can you be a little more specific about the setup, i.e. how the clients are connected, if they're all in different offices, if they're using VPN...

Vera,
we are installing shared printers along a network and sometimes when the
terminal server sesion is closed, the printers are deleted.

printer permissions are lost when re-login to terminal server, that's the
case of non administrator users. Admin users don't get this problem.


it seems like you had the same problem and the solution you found were
making all users Administrators or Printer Operators.

how did you configure Printer Operators? is Printer Operator a default
windows group or a user defined one?


thanks!

I've never had this problem myself, but suggested the Print
Operators group as a quick fix, slightly better then making all
users Administrators.
Print Operators is a standard windows group.
