Guest MMG2 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Hello, I have a Windows 2003 machine as my print server. I am able to install and share printers wthout a problem. All of my client computers can add the printers on the server by telling the print wizard specifically where to go but all but one doesn't show up when I try to add them by using the printer directory. I double checked that the "List in the directory" box is checked but still I get nothing.

Guest MMG2 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Re: Printers not showing up in the directory Thanks but this won't fix it because where I have my users and computers and where I have my printers are two different servers. My print server doesn't have Active Directory installed. Could this be the problem? I personally don't think so because we have Windows XP and 2000 workstations that have shared printers attached to them and they are in the directory... and obviously they don't have Active Directory either. Is there some other way? "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: > Also make sure the group policy is enabled for publish them.
