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

If so, IUSR_<machinename> 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_<web-server-name> 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.

Cheers
Ken

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

:
:

On your webserver you have a user called IUSR_<web-server-name>. 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
