the users members of local users group on computers. user's computers windows xp sp3 cse installed , print server windows 2003 sp2. can temporarily resolve issue re-applying printer's security settings on server error come within week. on note, of printers won't map user. they'll error saying "you not have sufficient access computer connect selected printer." though printers have default permissions group having print permissions set. appreciated.

hi,

how did setup printer in group policy preference? if after clicking new, chose tcp/ip printer, please try delete original printer , create new shared printer. run "gpupdate /force" update gp , test on clients.

if issue persists, please enable following policies in gpo client computers.

[computer configuration\administrative templates\system\logon\ wait network @ computer startup , logon]

create reg file containing following content , import on user logon.

windows registry editor version 5.00

[hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\windows\group policy\{bc75b1ed-5833-4858-9bb8-cbf0b166df9d}]
