Hi,
Small 40 winxp client network with 4 network printers (3 hp, 1 brother), NT4 style domain.
Last night I applied to the client machines
*Office XP service pack3
*Visual basic studio service pack6
*ms -> 2 hotfixes and "driver update from hp"
This morning my domain users have no printers in their printers folder (there should be 4). The "add a printer" option in the printers folder does nothing, no error messages.
They can print from MS word where they can choose 1 of 4 printers like normal, and it prints fine. In other applications such as Internet Explorer selecting "print" gives the error "an error occured during this opperation".
Logged on as local admin all printers are shown, no policies have changed and printers work fine. I checked the policies to be sure.
On one machine I logged in as local admin, uninstalled all printers and reinstalled them, it made no difference.
Have I missed anything obvious or has anyone had something similar? Would welcome ideas.
Thanks
