I have this problem. Well, I don't have it now. Here's when I started to have it. I have queues named things like \\njmsa-lm\djnlab. I decided, when I noticed the names are stored in .tdb's, not smb.conf, that I would rename them to more civilized names from the Windows side. I called the afforementioned printer:

\\njmsa-lm\Lab Poster Printer (djnlab)

...this worked... sometimes. Sometimes I'd see the error above. I made it go away by naming things back the way they were, but I'd really like to do what I described. The other thing that seemed to cause it sometimes (or cause other confusion) was having a djnlab and djnlab1 (djnlab1 was mapped from a staff machine only and was rather unrestricted, djnlab was mapped from lab machines and had a time-of-day restriction). Occaisionally, it appeared as if a change to one would affect the wrong printer.

Another related note: why is it that installing a new printer driver renames the printer? (ie. set up share, djnlab. Install printer Driver. Printer gets named hp designjet 42 ps3 without my permission). Is this expected behavior?

You didn't have this issue before SP2? AFAIK, you should see this all the time (SP2 or not, even w/2000) when a non-admin user connects, provided the printer hasn't been installed already as by someone with admin.

Nope. Worked fine, prior. I will play around with that and see if I can get a pattern though. It does only affect certain drivers, so maybe it wasn't supposed to be working before and now correctly isn't working.

It's a client side issue, no server changes would fix it aside from making the user a member of Domain Admins, thereby giving local admin. That's most likely not what you REALLY want to do though.

It would be solved by using [PRINT$] share and storing all your printer
drivers on the server. A normal user will be able to connect to a network
printer but won't be able to install any drivers. The only users of mine who
have to be administrator are the ones who need to use a printer which will
not store its drivers on the server.

I do this already. Used to work great. :) -- David Schlenk Operating Systems Analyst Bethel University Saint Paul, Minnesota [EMAIL PROTECTED]
