  2. Add only the necessary groups/users to the policy that are required for the eSF to communicate with the client.

Important!The service account user or a group containing it would need to be added to this policy, as well as all users using client print release on the client, or a group containing all users that use client print release on the client.

Contact your next level of support or contact Lexmark Technical Support.

NOTE: If this policy is managed by your domain’s group policy settings, any change to this client policy would need to be made at the domain/group policy level. Failure to do so will cause any client changes to be overwritten the next time the group policy is pulled down.

Explanation

Misconfigured security policies is one contributor to connection failures involving the Print Management client.
