There's been a problem at work about a given printer that you have to connect to using a printers' server. I don't control the server itself, but if there's a log that I can require to the server administrator, then maybe I could find out who added on a given computer, when, etc... Generally I connect to the printers' server using windows explorer like \printer-server1 then select the printer right clicking it, and choosing connect, does that leave a log on the server and/or in the host computer? Does this log exists and records things like: user #xx installed in computer #zz on date ### or can I find this information somewhere? thanks a lot.

Printers can be audited as with most other objects such as files. It needs to be enabled though on the Printer Properties > Security tab, and also at the operating system level.
