Deployed printers on some machines not all

[reprised]

Hi,

 

I am trying to troubleshoot a strange problem with missing network printers on some of our library machines and not doing very well. The 2 printers in the library are shared on the print server (2003) and deployed using the print management console and pushprintconnections.exe on a per machine basis. Now, this is working on most machines but on about 10 the printers don't appear. I can manually browse and add the printers and print fine but I can't figure out why these machines won't do it automatically. I have tried removing/rejoining to the domain and refreshing the gp but still can't get it to work. I have just reimaged one of the machines and now it is fine:confused:. Does anyone have any ideas as to what other things I can try before I just reimage the lot. Thanks

Are those machines running Windows XP, are they up-to-date? Doesn't Windows XP require some client-side extension update to be able to handle deploying printers?

Yep you need to dish these out to xp machines

Thanks both, they are xp clients. I'll check to see if installing this works.
