Printing to a network printer in Publisher 2003

[neilvilla]

When I try to print to a network printer in Publisher 2003 I get the
following error messages

"Publisher cannot continue printing because of an error. For more
information, press F1"

followed by

"Please choose another printer.

Publisher cannot find the printer \\printserver\printershare for this
publication. To select a different printer, click OK.
To return to Publisher now, click Cancel."

All my other Office XP products print fine as do non-microsoft apps. Can
anyone shed any light on this?

Publisher hates networks. You cannot (AFAIK)

1) Save Publisher files to a remote drive
2) Print to a remote printer

FWIW, although saving to a network drive and installing to/running from a
network drive are not advisable, I've never seen anything wrong with
printing to a network printer. The only thing I've seen that could cause
problems is if the printer was installed by a batch script at logon.

Publisher is different in its approach to printers than other Office products. Could
be the printer driver may need updating.

The printers weren't added with a batch script at logon but using the global
add/per machine function. I have tried mapping printers with a logon script
using con2prt, but I can't get this to run under XP.
Coincedentally when logged on as Enterprise Admin it will print. Can it be a
GP/permissions issue when all other apps are printing fine?
