Thanks.  You should see what our fiscal dept prints monthly.  Those
folks are nutters and don't need any outside help..........

If you don’t want users to get a username/password prompt *and* they
don’t have accounts in your directory then you’ll have to enable
anonymous access. But obviously you run the risk that some nutter that
gains access to your network decides to print a 1,000,000+ page
document.

Yes, the printer is a standard shared/listed in directory printer in AD
Server 2008.  I don't want our guests to get the user name/password
prompt.  

 

The only permission I see that might have worked, but didn't, was
"anonymous user".

Do you mean connecting to \\servername\share ( file://servername/share
)? That works regardless of whether you have AD or not.
If you are talking about printers that are published into AD by a print
server, all that is created is a printQueue object (you can view these
easily using ADSIEdit or similar) that points the client to
\\servername\share ( file://servername/share )

Subject: Connect to AD printers outside AD?

 

Hi Folks,

 

Is it possible to connect to an AD printer, using the AD share name,
when the user does not have an account in AD?  I would like to allow our
visitors to easily connect to printers near our conference rooms.  I
know they can connect with IP direct, but the path is easier for most
users.

 

Thanks,

Tom
