Standard user can't install printer?

Posted October 17, 2007 · October 17, 2007

Hello

Just recently we started having issues with installing printers from a

Windows 2003 SP2 print server as a standard user logged into a Windows XP SP2

machine. We have servers all over with identical drivers, HP 4350 which

work fine as a regular user, but for some reason this one server we get the

following error message.

A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting

to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator.

We don't use the Point and Print GPO nor have we ever and all is working.

If I install a printer as a regular user with the same driver and then try it

on the troubled server all will be working because the driver is now local to

the desktop. The desktop also doesn't use any Point and Print GPO's. I have

checked the IP, DNS and all is fine. I've tried creating a new printer and

still no luck. This is not a clustered server. Any ideas?
