Shesh! I must remember to bill MS for wasting my time <g> Tristan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tristan Leask Posted At: 27 June 2006 15:11 Posted To: Profox Archive Conversation: [NF] AD Printer madness Subject: [NF] AD Printer madness Hi All, Got a bit of a weird issue with Active Directory at the moment and I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this one before? I have just installed a laser printer on a PC connected to the AD (as the admin) and shared it out. Of course when you do this it adds it to the AD. All good here! Printer works okay and the object exists in the AD. Now if I try and install the printer on another machine by searching the AD and then double clicking on it... boom, I get the following message pop up... "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server." Now I know the printer is fine, because if I add it via the share name instead of using the AD, it installs okay and prints fine. Any suggestions (apart from kicking AD out of the window!)?
