How to add a printer to a network user ?
HI
I have the following:
We got a server with a domain "mydomain"
There is a computer A with UserA configuration and a shared printer with windows XP.
and I have a netbook computer with windows 7(Computer B) which is outside the domain but its user (UserB) is already set up in the server, so I can access to the shared folders in the server.
The problem is that UserB/ComputerB, can't connect it to the shared printer in ComputerA, because is always asking for a valid user, I have used most of the admin users of the servers without success.

Did you have the printer plugged directly into Computer A? If thats the case that would most likely be the cause of the problem.
I have the same situation. In this case what i do is access the Computer A which is connected with a shared printer using its IP Address from Laptop. I use Domain Admin credentials for accessing as the Computer A is the member of a Domain. This way I am able to use printer from Laptop. If you have created a Laptop's user a member of your Domain to access it, go to printer properties and security, add this member and provide access rights.
Hope this may help u.....

The printer used to have ALL (with full access) and never worked until I added the local user

1. I stablished full access for all users over the printer
2. I Created an admin user related to all the computers (support user) in the Computer B.
3. I created the same user in the computerA as in the computerB.
And nothing above worked
