Re: Iusr_Servername NetworkPrinter

So, the printer is actually shared on a remote machine? (you are not
printing directly to a IP address/LPD?)

If so, IUSR_<machinename> is a local account (except on DCs). It can't be
assigned permissions to remote resources.

Options?
a) Use a domain account instead of a local account. Give the domain account
permissions to the remote printer share

b) On your print server, create an account called IUSR_<web-server-name> and
give it the same password as the IUSR account on your webserver. THen NTLM
pass-through authentication can be used to connect to the remote print
server.

Cheers
Ken

: Hi,
:
