I have a 8 computers running in windows 2000 sp3. 1 of the computers have printer (HP LJ 1100). I enable Printer Sharing on that one so all my computer can print at that printer. The users are log on as Restricted User. Whenever that user print a documents, the pc said that there is no printer installed. But i have a solution to that. I am going to browse that computer and connect to the printer and it works. My question is...Is there a way that Restricted User can througly print without going to reconnect to the printer? Because some of my users are also don't know how to connect to the printer.

Is there a batchfile that i can get that, can connect to the printer once the Restricted User is log-on?

NOTE : The printer Permission isset to everyone

Thanks in Advance!!

logon to the computer as administrator and then connect to the printer. Im sure the admin is not restricted. Then logon as another user with admin access. copy the administrators profile to the All Users profile folder in documents and settings.This will give every user on this computer a connection to the printer.

There is also a utility called con2prt.exe on the windows 2000 resource kit. You can have the users connect to the printer via a logon script to do windows printing. Muststill use net use lptX to map lpt ports to network printers. If you don't have logon scripts or a domain, then you can make the script.bat file and put it in every computers startup folder.
