Hi,
I have a computer in a remote location which has a local printer (and
other computers on a local network with access to this printer), this
computer then connects into a Terminal Server via the internet.
Everything currently works fine say when printing say from Notepad
within the RDP connection, but the main application we run needs access
to the printer via LPT1, i.e. not through the standard win32 printing
mechanism.
To get around this I need to connect to the terminal server, go into
the Printer Properties, Share the printer, and finally use NET USE to
map the '\server\printername' to my LPT port. This works fine but the
Share Printer section of the Printer Properties dialog is only
available to users with Administrator rights on the Server (it's grayed
out for my Domain Users).
Is there a way to give all my Domain Users rights to share printers?
I've looked in the Group Policy editor but couldn't find anything.
Thanks,
David Grogan
