Iusr_Servername NetworkPrinter

Hi, any expert out there can advise on how to allow the iusr_servername to
access a network printer? I have try the solution posted on KB to edit the
hkey_users/.default..... setting, no luck. Please help..... I need the
isur_servername to print to a printer link to a PC printserver. I have set up
the printer on my Web Server and is able to print with any account except for
the isur_servername account. Kindly advise.

Re: Iusr_Servername NetworkPrinter

Question 1)
A network printer is usually shared on another machine (i.e. it's "on the
network). However you say that this machine is attached locally to the web
server. How exactly are you trying to print to this printer?

Question 2)
You refer to a KB article - which KB article are you talking about exactly?

Question 3)
When you say "it's not working" - what do you mean? Do you get an error
message? If so, what is it?

Cheers
Ken

Re: Iusr_Servername NetworkPrinter

Hi,

1) When setting up the printer on the web-server, I actually use the "local"
instead of the "network" option. Once the printer is created, I then change
the "port" to use a network port. The port is actually referring to the PC
Printer Server where the printer is connected. (Refer to Q152451, step 2)

2) Microsoft Q152451

3) Once I submit a print job from the web, the job will first be display in
the status window as printing. After a while, the status will change to
error-printing and a "Access Denied" prompt will be display and the job is
not print. The owner of the print job is "Iusr_ServerName". But if I would to
do a test print from the printer properties, the owner will be
"administrator" and the job will be printed successfully. Thus, I strongly
believe this is a security issue which prevent the Isur_ServerName account
from using the network resources.

Think you can help? Appreciate all help and suggestion.

Re: Iusr_Servername NetworkPrinter

So, the printer is actually shared on a remote machine? (you are not
printing directly to a IP address/LPD?)

If so, IUSR_ is a local account (except on DCs). It can't be
assigned permissions to remote resources.

Options?
a) Use a domain account instead of a local account. Give the domain account
permissions to the remote printer share

b) On your print server, create an account called IUSR_ and
give it the same password as the IUSR account on your webserver. THen NTLM
pass-through authentication can be used to connect to the remote print
server.

Re: Iusr_Servername NetworkPrinter

On your webserver you have a user called IUSR_. E.g. if
your server is called "Web1" then the account is IUSR_Web1

Create an account on your print server called IUSR_Web1 and give it the same
password as the account on the webserver box.

Then, on the print server, give the PrintServer\IUSR_Web1 account permission
to print to the printer.

Cheers
Ken
