The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it.

Not able to see shared printer from XP SP1 system that is connected to XP SP2 system connected to 2000 server domain network

Asked by mgump9 in Windows Networking

Tags: printer, cannot, computer, shared

I have a 4 computer network:

1. Windows 2000 Server SP2
2. Windows XP SP2 workstation with HP G85 printer locally attached and set as shared. Firewall off.
3. Windows XP SP1 workstation that I want to print from to the HP G85 printer on computer 2.
4. Another Windows XP SP1 workstation just like number 3.

These are all part of a domain type network.

I used to be able to print to the shared printer from all three XP systems. I installed a new (replacement) DSL connection and lost the ability to print from computers 3 and 4. I don't know what the DSL install would have to do with the printer sharing but it was the last significant change made to the network.

I have tried everything I can think of with setting permissions, etc. on the server and the various computers but cannot get computers 3 and 4 to be able to see or add the shared printer. They also cannot see the contents of computer 2 if I try looking using the Entire Network option in My Networks Places. I can see the icon for computer 2 there but when I click on it I get a message that says: "\\computer2 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. This server's clocks is not syncronized with the primary domain's clock."

The printer is set to Share on computer 2. I don't see anything about permitting it to be listed in the Active Directory though. I have read many Experts Exchange entries trying to figure this out and it seems like lots of them say there should be a check box somewhere that says the printer should be allowed to be listed in the Active Directory on the server.

I am quite familiar with Windows XP Home and some with XP Pro but I don't have a lot of knowledge about 2000 Server, domain type networks or the Active Directory. My guess is that it is some kind of permission problem or policy problem but I'm not knowledgable enough about how those things work to know what should be set how.

I would appreciate any suggestions that will point me in the right direction on this.

Thanks.

Mark
