XP to XP printing in AD domain environment

Posted: 04-15-2007, 03:34 PM

This issue has been discussed ad infinitum in online forums
but I have yet to find anything that works.

Why is it so hard to share a printer on an XP client and let
other XP clients print to it, when all computers are part of
a domain, without all the permissions issues? What should
take 12 seconds to set up has taken me 12 hours so far, and
it still isn't working.

The server is SBS 2003. The printing client gets an access
denied error.

The only way I have been able to get this working is to make
each user a local administrator on their own pc. First, that
doesn't make any sense to me, and second, it is neither
practical nor possible for me to do that. I need a solution
that can be done centrally, and will work in a roaming
profiles environment too.

Can anyone help?
