Problem with newly installed printer being used by all users

Posted: 10-22-2003, 02:31 PM
I am using Windows XP Home addition with 3 users one of
whom is limited access user

I have just bought a used HP officejet 635, downloaded
the drivers from the HP web site and installed them
through the new hardware wizard.

The printer works fine but not for the user with limited
access. When trying to print it just appears to have
printed without actually doing so. If i change status to
administrator then it will print without any problems!

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Some drivers just don't work if the user doesn't have admin rights, sorry.
I'd suggest to contact HP support with this issue.
