Cant share printer? Cant enable printer sharing in network and sharing center
Hi,
In Networking and Sharing center, I enable printer sharing, and it doesn't actually enable it just goes back to being turned off.
If I try to share a printer I get the following message:
"Printer settings could not be saved. Remote connections to the Print Spooler are blocked by a policy set on your machine."
Under gpedit.msc I have enabled "Allow Print Spooler to accept client connections"
Is there another policy setting somewhere I am missing? or a registry setting to adjust?
Thanks.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Use GPMC with the filter "only show configured settings" and you should be able to go through each policy and see if it is set elsewhere very quickly. (obviously you only need to check policies that are applied to that server)
