Here's the situation.
I setup a printer on my local Win XP pro system and shared
it out. I then setup a printer on our Windows 2000 print
server to use this Win XP printer and shared it out. When
I print from the W2K print server to this shared XP
printer everything works. When I print from a third
system to the Print server using the XP systems printer it
doesn't work. If I set up a printer the same way as the
XP box but it is anything but ZP it works. The reason for
doing this type of printing is for terminal services.
To sumarize:
1. XP Pro system with a shared local printer
2. W2K Print server sharing this XP printer connection
3. 3rd system tring to print through Print server doesn't
work, but a print connection direct to XP box does.
4. This setup works for any system but an XP local shared
printer. Ie)w9x w2k
To recreate and test yourself:
1. Share a local printer on an XP box
2. On another system add a printer using this XP shared
printer and share out the new one you have created.
3. Try to print from another system to the printer you
have created on the print server.
I think it is a permission thing, but I have enabled the
guest account and all systems are in the same domain.
Thanks for any help
