I am trying to use the "/ga" feature of RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL PrintUIEntry to install a shared printer for all users on the computer. For example: "rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /ga /n \client2\printer2".

However, when I checked the results, I found that only the administrator account can successfully display this printer, while user accounts cannot.

May I seek any advice?

    Hello jmkkuwgj,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft customer support. I understand that you are experiencing issues with the /ga feature of RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL PrintUIEntry not functioning properly.

    To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    1. Open the Group Policy Editor by typing "gpedit.msc" in the Run dialog box and pressing Enter.
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Printers.
    3. Double-click "Point and Print Restrictions" and select "Enabled".
    4. Under "Options", select "Users can only point and print to these servers" and add the server name or IP address of the print server.
    5. Under "Security Prompts", select "Do not show warning or elevation prompt".
    6. Click "Apply" and "OK" to save the changes.

    After applying these changes, try running the command again and see if the printer is now visible to all users. If the issue persists, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you further.

    I hope the above information is helpful to you.

    If you have any doubts, please feel free to let me know.

    Best regards
