Everyone,
This is what I had to do to get my printer working after Vista messed it up. You do the first two steps to the computer where your printer is connected. The last step you do to your laptops or what ever computer you want to connect to the main computer printer. I hope this helps.
Hey all,
We had this same problem..
We had to follow the procedure suggested by Drompa. . .
>>1) Share Permissions
>>1. On explorer, go to C:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS
>>2. Right click, Properties
>>3. Sharing tab
>>4. Advanced Sharing
>>5. Check “Share this folder”
>>6. Permissions
>>7. Grant everyone Full Control
>>
>>2) NTFS Permissions
>>1. On explorer, go to C:\windows\system32\spool\printers
>>2. Right click, Properties
>>3. Security tab
>>4. Edit
>>5. Add
>>6. Advanced
>>7. Find Now
>>8. Choose “NETWORK”
>>9. OK
>>10. Grant NETWORK Full Control
AND THEN we had to install as local printers, using the port trick. . .
1. Go to “Printers”
2. click “Add Printer”
3. “Add a Local Printer”
4. “Create a New Port”
5. use the “Local Port” option
6. at “Enter a Port Name” enter: “\\Computername\Printername”
I tried everything with no luck. It simply refuses to store the passwords anymore. At this point, it’d be cheaper to reformat the machine than to waste any more time on it.
I worked with _stefan ‘s post of using the net use command by turning it into a batch file.
@ECHO OFF
net use Z: \\computername\folder password /USER:DOMAIN\username /persistent:yes
Instead of putting the batch directly in the Startup folder, I placed it elsewhere and made a shortcut to it in the Startup folder. Then I set the shortcut to run minimized. This removes the annoying command window that pops up every time the machine is rebooted.
I hope this helps.
