One machine with Windows XP Added into Domain, suddenly found the netwrok printer couldn't be used after logging into the domain. When I attempted to print a excel or word document, a prompt was occur that is 'You don't have permissiont to use the printer'. I enter the start->printers and faxes->printer, found the network printer displayed 'refuse use', when I clicked it, it indicated that you needed to installed a printer drivers for the printer. I did it, finally the network printer could be used. Why does the confused issue appear? A virus 'Trojan.dropper' has been detected. Maybe, the issue is something to do with the virus. Any help appreciate!!!

It's possible the virus messed with some of your network settings which caused you to not be able to print from the network printer on your domain. Since it's working now I wouldn't think much more of it other then to make sure each computer on the domain has Antivirus software on it and that they are all fully updated.

squash the virus and then reset the network (if its not too much bother) thats how i work the kinks out, troubleshooting is sometimes more time/resource/patience consuming than just starting over
