Printer Deployment
-
@Joe-Gill Can you verify that a normal user can access the share with windows explorer without providing credentials?
-
@michael_f I verified and I have access to the share as a user without entering credentials.
-
@Joe-Gill that doesn’t mean it’s setup correctly. A normal user counts as a domain user and a domain bound machine.
-
@Joe-Gill As Joe Schmidt says, maybe the share is not setup correctly. Nevertheless I would try the following, costs you 5 minutes:
-
put the unzipped files to the share
-
figure out the path to the inf-file and set the path in printer-management dialog, Printer Config File can be left blank, the other settings should be fine
-
Assign the printer to a client and see, if it gets installed. If not, check fog.log

@michael_f Looks like I’m headed the LInux Samba share route for now. I know that setup better. The Server 2003 is being a pain.
@Joe-Schmitt remoted in to our server and well it wasn’t being very kind. It still has permissions issues.
-
Well, I got this to finally work. I installed SAMBA server and things are good to go! I have a few minor configuration issues to address but nothing serious. Everything is installing properly and tested out.
Thanks to those who helped! No thanks to Windows Server 2003!
