XP printui confirmation message

Is there anyway to change this behaviour, a policy for instance or can you
get the workstation to trust anything/all??

The prnmngr doesn't work when dealing with the Novell NDPS Broker Works
fine talking to Windows server etc.

Thanks

The only way to change the behavior is to join a domain. Then the policy
for trusting servers is honored. This functionality was added with Service
Pack 1.

I do not know what a Novell NDPS Broker is. You can try prnadmin.dll (but
can't set per machine connections) in the Server 2003 resource kit. You can
download from:
