That's what I'm thinking..but it's worth a thought. I might try logging in with my non-privileged user and see if I can print to that printer via the server share.

The I would check GPO, as Cameron has suggested. Find out what is causing the issue, but at least they can still print.

Hmm. guess I could redirect LPT2 (it's already pointing lpt1 to another printer hooked up to a PC) and point it at that.

She normally prints to a network printer, but for some reason, if I take her out of the local admins group, it will remove the network printer from her machine and disallow her adding it back. But if I add her back to the local admins group next time she logs back in, the network printer is there and is the default again. What's going on and how do I fix it? I'm trying to keep from having every user be a local admin, but apparently if they're going to print to a network printer, they're going to have to be. At least that's what it seems like.. Do I need to do anything special to give her access to the network printer w/o making her a local admin? Thanks!
