I hate windows.............

For the love of Pete…WHY would you have to have the windows
firewall enabled to share a printer on a server 2008r2 server!?!?!?!

I really don’t believe that is the case. I’ve got 2 Win2K8R2 print
‘servers’ and neither have the firewall enabled for any network profile.

So my response to unsigned’s comment is…

We have a wk8r2 server here, tried to install a generic text only
printer for receipts, the printer installs fine, but cannot share it
out like it needs to be.

The need to enable the FW is discussed in this blog…
