    I am trying to create a network printer session from an MS SBS 2011 Server. Signed on as the Administrator, when I try to create a printer port using a known IP address on a functioning network printer, I get the MS turn down message that says i do not have permission to carry out this mission. Lil' Help?

    Do you have a screen shot, or can you give a step by step on what you are doing?

    Have you tried these steps and followed the kb articles as mentioned below

    Add the Network Printer as a Local Printer
    =========================
    1. Click “Start”, “Control Panel”, “Hardware” and “Add a printer”.
    2. Click “Add a printer”.
    3. Choose “Add a local printer” and click on “Create a new port”.
    4. Select “Local Port” and click “Next”.
    5. Type in the
    \\ComputerName\PrinterName for the Port name.


    Example: If the computer you wish to connect to is named ComputerA and the printer is called PrinterA then the path would be
    \\ComputerA\PrinterA

    For more information, please refer to the following links:
