Hello,

I am trying to add a printer that is shared from a Win2k server to a client
(Win2k) on a LAN.

There are two user profiles on the client with diferent rights. On one of
these profiles, where rights are restricted, there is no Add Printer icon in
the Printers folder in Control Panel.

A message appears relating to restrictions on this computer prevent adding
the printer.

How do I change these "restrictions"?
I know I have to do it from the server.

But where do I find these on the server?

Thanks.
 
On the workstation, add the user that isn't able to add the printer, to the
local Administrators Group in Control Panel, Users and Groups.
After you've logged in as that user, add the printer, login as administrator
and remove the administratorsmembership from this user.
