Hello All,

I have a little problem with publishing printer to AD. When I try to publish
printer in Active Directory \OU\Printers by adding new printer
\\servername\printershare I get this message:
This printer cannot be published. To publish printers on Computers running
2000 and 2003 Operating systems, use printers folder.

I did enable GP on printer listing but still those printers do not appear in
my list?
 
Hey Maciek,

I am having the same issue with printers not showing up in the AD and have
try everything that you mention, did you ever figure out why the printers do
not publish in the AD?


Thanks,
Jason
 
Hi, they publish you just can't see them.

do in AD users and computers a search for printers. you get a list selct the
printers and move them. eg. create and OU Printers and move them to that OU.
now they show up.

Hey Martin,

You are right, I did a FIND for printers in the domain and was able to see
them and move them to a Printer OU. Interesting I still cannot create a
printer object by typing in the share name, but the other method works so I
am not going to sweat it.


Thanks,
Jason
