Print Queue Chaining


i create a print server chain; meaning, have system printer physically attached; sharing printer network ( \\windowsserver\printershare )  don't want users add network printer computers.  want add \\otherserver\printershare user workstations, , define local port on "otherserver" \\windowsserver\printershare.

this way documents spooled on corporate print server first, before being forwarded final server has printer directly attached. 

if print test page logged on locally "otherserver", document prints @ printer on "windowsserver".  however, when add \\otherserver\printershare on client workstation; document remains in queue on "otherserver" "error-printing".

both servers windows 2003 r1, client pc xp. all x32.

is there issue delgating authentication in print queue chain this?  there way hard set authentication between otherserver , windowsserver client workstation jobs use hard set credentials route job otherserver windowsserver, , use credentials authenticate job client workstation otherserver?

maybe handful of people try this.  due security implications it's not supported.

the failure hitting in anonymous write to the last server. 

i believe need add spoolss null sessions available on last server

hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\nullsessionpipes

as allow anonymous access last server.  here's kb allowing anonymous access.  it's been long since last set up, not recall services block configuration.  should able use delegation last machine trusts machine local ports i've never configured delegation.
