Add Network printer
Posted by abc123jchan on October 6th, 2005


Hi,

I am using XP with 2003 server, at the first place all the user was set as
domain user without any permission. I am use the same login for 2 different
PC(call it PC-A and PCB) all the time. Now I have PC-A connected a printer
by USB. I want to add that printer into PC-B, but windows xp don't allow me
to add printer. I think it's permission problem, so I go to server and
change the user "member of" to Domain admin and set it as a primary group.
But it's still not allow me to adding a printer into PC-B. However, once I
use administrator account to login PC-B. Then, I am able to add the printer.
Do you think i have any way to adding a printer on that PC? Or, is there
have a way I can add the printer from administrator that allow other user on
that PC can access network printer?

Thank you!

On PC-B open compmgmt.msc and add the domain user account to the local
administrators group.
