Network Printer   

Here's my setup

3 computers on a domain. All 3 can be logged into locally and of course can 
be logged on to the domain.

Computer1 has 2 printers attached and can be accessed from all computers 
when they are logged on the domain. Computer1 can of course access the 
printer when logged on locally or the domain.

Problem: Computer2 when logged on locally cannot access the printer on 
Computer1. The printers are shared and listed in the directory. When I browse 
for the printer I get an error stating that the printer cannot be found or 
may have been spelled incorrectly. I am the domain admin so I am not sure 
what is going on.

Any suggestions?

Normal behavior in a Domain environment.  In order to access Domain
resources (printers, file shares, etc.), you must be logged into it.

Re: Network Printer   

Hal,

Thanks for the response but I actually fixed the problem.

Solution: From Computer2 when logged in locally, I browsed Network Places to 
Computer1, went to Printers on Computer1 and right clicked and dragged too 
Printers on Computer2 and when I let go of the drag I got 2 
options....Install and Properties........so I clicked install and it 
installed the printer or at least a shortcut, although no shortcut arrow is 
showing, on Computer2.

All is well and working fine.


Thanks
D
