I have a user who used to be able to add and delete printers now he can't I tried adding him to administrators and he still cant delete or add a printer. I also tried giving him rights to add files or change time but neither works. is there something I am missing ?

Giving Admin right should be more than enought to add a printer. Have you checked the rights on the printer share itself? How about both the printer security and the share security?

the Share is permissioned correctly the ID will work if I give him full Domain admin rights but not just as an administrator He cant even change the system time even though I gave him access in user manager policies. I Also removed any Policy files.any other suggestions you have would be appreciated.

Ok, I'll give it another shot.
First of all, can we get some more information about:
1. Where the printer is located? Meaning, is it setup on the setver, workstation, or stand alone (jet direct) or may be jet direct through the server.

You saidthat it works with Domain Admin rights, what other Admin right are you assigning? Local to the workstation? Another server?

Have you tried adding him to domain Power Users group?

Let's see if we can find a solution...

Have you tried creating a administrator template and recreate this user using the template you create ?

You do not say but I would guess that if you log on you can add and delete printers. If this is the case then it looks like a currupt profile.
