All, I have wrestled with the KB again, and my faith has been restored.
My solution is here: Q308296 - install SP3. Apparently there is a problem with the spooler.dll that when you log onto a machine with a locally shared printer, it doesn't just hide the isntalled share you might have, but it also hides some or all network shared printers. All replys to me on this topic were much appreciated. themolk. > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Molkentin > Sent: Monday, 18 November 2002 8:31 AM > To: NT 2000 Discussions > Subject: Machine not allowing users to add a printer... > > > All, > > My turn to beg for some pearls of wisdom. > > We run an NT4.0 domain, with a number of 98, NT4.0 and 2K > clients, using > roaming profiles. > > We have 1 2K client that when a user logs onto it, they lose all the > network/shared printers they have installed and end up only > with the printer > on that machine (that is shared for staff room use).
