Browse to the printserver and doubleclick on the share. How hard can it be? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

In fact this is the only thread that comes to mind where this has been such an issue. Normally the only real difficulty for some is when the PRINTER NAME and SHARE NAME do not match. Once they figure that out they're up and running and happy.

There are many posts where printers are mapped, some using INI files and there are a few UDFs posted to facilitate it. This however, is the first request I've seen where all available printers are to be mapped by ACLs. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Not sure what you're talking about there Jooel. I can pretty much gurantee you that the hundreds of thousands of Admins around the World sure the heck are not running around going through all these hoops/loops/special coding/special ACL junk. Using Global groups for this task is the EASIEST method period. Can it be done other ways, sure as we see here in this crazy thread, but find me one question on any test for Microsoft Networking that would even attempt to explain that you would do special coding to map a printer for the user.. wtf? I never said one should go with any junk. nor I never ever said global groups couldn't be used. what I said was that your efficiency comment on the ini-file usage was wrong. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
