Too funny, I was just about to type up the exact same question. I ran into this same scenario last night. The only thing that I found different was between 2 different printers. In my case the printers are:
Canon iR3245 HP Officejet 8600 So I deployed the iR3245 first via GPO using the Print Management method and none of the users received the mapping. But I could map the printer manually. So I finally decided to test using the 2nd printer, using the same method and the OfficeJet mapped successfully. I then went and published the iR3245 via GPO preferences, and that worked. The only thing I can think of is that for some reason its a driver issue, but I can't think of what that would be. Not sure if this is relavent, but this is a ThinClient environment. All Hyper-V hosts with RDS and clients are Wyse C10LE. All servers are Windows 2008 R2.

I'm deploying printers using Group Policy. We have Windows Server 20008 R2 Domain controllers and Windows 7 desktops. I have a new lab that I wanted to deploy the network printers. In this one lab, for some reason, Administrators see the printers. Non-admins do not. I am using the Print Management GUI to deploy the printers. I have them deployed via a Group Policy that is assigned to all computers in an OU, not users. The printers are being setup as TCP/IP printers and the drivers are being distributed by the print server. Now... why is this working in all of my labs that I have setup but this one? And why only Admins? Has anybody else run into this problem? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
