possibility that a printen driver is infected with a virus. That's why they put
a policy in place to prefent users from connection to printers outside their own
network.
As I am on location at clients a lot, I need to connect to
printers outside my own computer domain all the time. Fortunatly the policy is
easily disabled using the Group Policy Editor.
Open the Group Policy
Editor by typing gpedit.msc in the Run... box. User account control will display
a waring, accept it. Navigate to User Configuration ->
Administrative Templates -> Control Panel
-> Printers. Open on the Point and Print
Restrictions policy and set it to Disabled.
Either restart or run gpupdate /force to enforce the
changes.
And please consider the environment before printing anything
🙂
