Default Default Profile and Printer Access


Hello Everyone!

I am working on a lab running four Vista Ultimate x64 boxes and two XP
Pro boxes. I am on a domain and all machines are connecting to a Server
2003 R2 box for file and printer sharing. We are using default profiles
and creating them as administrator and giving "BUILTIN\Users" access to
the default profile. I have one printer installed. It is a Lexmark C352.
The server is acting as a print server and the drivers are loaded
locally from the X64 machines.

When I log in with my account which has "administrator" access, I am
able to print just fine to the printer. If I log in with a standard user
account (standard users are members of just the "Users" group) I am
unable to open the default printer. I get an "access denied" error.

I checked driver permissions and printer permissions on the server. The
XP machines do not have this problem.

Currently the printer is mapped as '\\servername.domain.com\printer'
(file://servername.domain.com/printer). If I connect using a netbios
name or with IP address, I can add the printer and print as a standard
user. Also, if I delete the printer and re-add it as
'_\\servername.domain.com\printer_'
(file://servername.domain.com/printer), I can connect to it.

This seems to be a problem with the default profile and permissions.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.:geek:
