On our computer network there are many printers, and for some groups the task of connecting the closest printer has been sort of automated by creating a security group named print- When we add computers to the group, the named printer is automatically connected. But on a few computers this does not work. I have checked naming, and AD container placement for the computer, but they are exactly the same as on the computers where this scheme works.

Any tips what to look for?

  • Did you reboot the computers in question? Changes to a computers group membership requires a reboot of the computer.

  • The computers have been rebooted repeatedly, but that did not help.

  • Check the event log PrintService\Operational.

  • I'd also suggest running the Group Policy Results wizard against one of the computers in question and taking a look at the resultant report.
