I'm trying to share a printer from a server using a cname record with that server. I can connect to the printer share just fine if I use the actual host name for the server, but it giv.es me an error if I try to connect via the cname:
Windows couldn't connect to the printer. Check the printer name and try again. If this is a network printer, make sure that the printer is turned on, and the printer address is correct.
I have seen and tried everything suggested in this related question, including manually setting SPNs, with no luck:
