I'm trying to share my printer over the network but I get this error message:
Printer setting could not be saved. Remote connections to the Print Spooler are blocked by a policy set on your machine.

I would appreciate if someone could help me get around this. I don't know how I can fix it

I have the same problem, I have had to add the following to the logon script for users to access shared printers on our current network.

In the logon script after net use (your shared drives)

run the following:

START \\SERVERNAME\PRINTERSHARE

This is no way an ideal fix, but will get your users shared printers that they can use.

You will need to ensure the users are allowed to access your printers via Active DIR.
