We had some printing problems when we first implemented Win7 clients and had to add a group policy specific to Win7 clients. I do not remember whether the printing problems affected local printers; I think it only affected network printers. In any case, we set under User Config - Policies - Administrative Templates - Control Panel/Printers: Point and Print Restrictions Disabled. Also: Computer Config - Adm templates - Printers: Point and print restrictions Disabled. I think we had to use a Win7 client to connect to the GP server, and also possible install the Win7 GP admin templates on the Win 2003 server to be able to see and edit these policies. Policy must apply to both the computer OU and the user OU if the two are in different OU's. Really not sure if this is the source of your problem, but thought it might be relevant. Good luck.

I recently installed a receipt printer on one of my circ stations (Windows 7), and gave the user rights to manage the printer. When I ran a windows test page, it printed with no problem. When I logged in as the user and tried to print from the ILS, I got a message that the printer can't be found in the list. If I'm logged in as the local or network admins, it prints from the ILS just fine. When I tried to give the user rights to the System32/spool folder as the network admin, I got a series of messages telling me I don't have access. The domain admin doesn't even show up in the list of users. As the local admin, I couldn't add domain users. Is there something I need to do at the server level (server 2008) to give the domain administrator access to change the System32 folder? My experience is somewhat limited, but I have never encountered anything like this before.
