What happens if the student tries to install the printer manually? Does it complete or does it bomb out?
-----Original Message----- From: Matthew W. Ross [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 11:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Deploying Printers in Group Policy not working for non-admins Here are some more oddities for this lab: 1) The printers are an HP Laserjet 4250 and a HP Color Laserjet 4700. We have other labs with the same model printers deployed from the same print server and this problem does not exist with them. 2) The printers show up if I log in as an administrator... but if I immediately log off, and log in as a generic student account, the printers are no longer there. Shouldn't the printers be installed already? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Bodnar [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Fri, 31 Aug 2012 05:22:56 -0800 Subject: Re: Deploying Printers in Group Policy not working for non-admins > Too funny, I was just about to type up the exact same question.
