Re: Printing security problem

Yes, previous messages in this newsgroup.

Sorry but I don't fully remember the details, but a few weeks ago someone
sent out a message which detailed what was the problem and how to sort it
out.

Below is the text from a message. I can't confirm the details are correct
but it is worth trying. Also I can't tell you who sent it as the person
decided not to provide any name

=Go to TCP/IP port settings on the print server, uncheck the SNMP Status
Enabled box. The printers are not replying to the SNMP =packets to sent from
the print server and thus the print server believes their status is offline.
Unchecking the box will disable this test =and printers will show online.
Simple fix to a real headscratcher.

Hello Neil

And by group archives you mean previous messages in this newsgroup or?

You suggests an SMTP setting? I am open to any suggestions, but I don't
see
SMTP having anything to do with printing.

Try looking at the group archives!
I seem to remember that this started with SP2 and is something to do
with
an
SMTP setting which I think should be off but is on by default?

I have a strange problem on our Windows Server 2003 print server.

The server has a total of about 50 printers connected to it, four of
them
being HP Laserjet 1022n, connected via standard TCP/IP ports.

When standard users (non-admin) try to print to these four printers,
the
jobs spool fine in the queue, but there is no activity on the printer,
and
the jobs get stuck in the queue with the status 'Printing'.

If I restart the spooler service, the jobs in the queue print just
fine.

If I print to the same printer from the same computer as the above
mentioned
example with the only difference being that it is my user account
(domain
admin) that is logged in, everything works just fine.

It makes sense that the jobs print, when I restart the print spooler
because
I can see in the event log that when I restart the spooler, the print
jobs
are no longer owned by the user that submitted the job, but by the
SYSTEM
account which also has adminstrative rights.

All the other printers on the server works just fine.

It doesn't remedy the issue to give standard users full rights to the
printer

I must conclude that this must be som kind of security rights issue
since
I
as administrator can print without problems and standard users cannot.

Can anyone give a hint to what I should do to remedy this situation

Best regards
Thomas Hansen, Denmark
