Perhaps some people were wondering from the subject what the issues were!

Obviously there is a solution to this. Either there is something NOT right about my PDC setup or some special tool for getting the policies set up right. There SEEMS to be a need for a special policy to allow domain users to access the local printer or to access a printer share...

I am NOT using LDAP for the PDC, all users are Linux users with their own /home/user directory as their Home share.

No functional limitations on OEM versions, except that some were tied
to specific manufacturers (they wouldn't install if the BIOS string
did not identify the device as that manufacturers).

The license is an OEM license (per system properties) registered to the
E-Waste Recycler I bought it from. It is an IBM SFF.

But why no policies for allowing printing when attacked to a domain? Why
not connect when domain logged in.
Robert,
Are you using AD for group policy, samba (system policy) or local group policy. I have noticed, that on my XP client machines not all of the policies are present until you add appropriate templates (don't know if its SP3 "feature"). If you right-click on Administrative templates, there will be an option to Add/Remove templates. The required policy is part of system.adm

I don't know what policy I am using. I suppose whatever is installed on the system?

Oh, NOW I see what I was doing wrong. Now I have added system.adm policy and I see printers. Here goes!

Well I enabled a couple of things.

I disabled: Disallow install of printers using ker-mode drv
I enabled: Allow print spooler to accept clients
Web-based printing

I could not figure out what really to do.

This has not made any change to the system behaviour :(

I am off now until Saturday night. I will look for help again then!



I tried connecting to the server printer share from a local login, and
that got past the policy block and was asking for the printer driver. So it is REALLY something tied into how a domain user acts on this system.
