This is getting frustrating. When I try to set the permissions on the folder
below.....and then go to apply, the creater/owner unchecks itself (Strange).
Could the problem have anything to do with me using a external hp print server
device? I have the folder permissions set "not to inherit" and the spool file
is NOT a read only file. Personally I think its crap that a person can't make
a network printer show up for ALL USERS. I've installed uptodate
drivers....and everything prints fine. The printer properties are the basic
defaults. I've reinstalled it several times.
Ok...so next question.
Could I setup a script or GPO to create this printer at logon?
If so, how would I do this?
TIA

Sounds like you have changed the permission on the folder where the spool
documents are stored, and they cannot delete from that folder.
Ensure that CREATOR/OWNER and SYSTEM have full control.
My spool folder is at C:\WINNT\System32\spool\printers, but your may be
different. In the printers control panel, click File->Server Properties, and
look at the path on the advanced tab...

Its been a while, but I need to revisit this. I have set this up as you
recommended, but now I'm having some strange problems. Whenever I turn on one
of the machines that this is set up on I get a complete print out of everything
that was printed the day before. The queue is not purging itself so to speak.
Is there a setting I'm missing?

Only local printers will show for all users.
But you can make network printers pseudo-local:
In the add printer wizard, choose "Local Printer (Do not detect)" and when
asked for a port, choose "New Local Port"
When prompted for the local port name, put the UNC of the network printer queue.
Hope this helps,

I have a question in regard to individual users and printers. I'm sure this is
by design, but when I install a printer, it only appears for the user who is
logged in at the time. Next user, install printer.....next user - install
printer.....
What do I have to do to install a printer and have it appear for ALL the users
of that perticular machine. Some pc's will have 10 different users per day.
