Guest Tester Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Hi there, I am getting an error trying to install printers from an AD print server on my W2K and XP Pro client machines, it seems to work only if users are local admins. A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator. What should I do? Thanks, T
