Won't print as a limited user

Posted: 09-25-2003, 04:56 PM
The children are limited users on our computer. When they
try to print, it shows the printer icon and then nothing
prints and the printer icon goes away. If I make them an
administrator they can print....

Any ideas?

We just got Windows XP last week...so we are still
learning.

Thank you for your help.

Won't print as a limited user

Amy,

I just struggled for hours with this problem. I have an
HP Deskjet 520C and was using the original HP drivers.
Have noticed other people with HP printers having the same
problem. When I updated the printer driver, the limited
users were able to print! Suggest you check to see if you
are using the latest XP drivers for your printer. Here is
how to check:
-Log in as an Admin user
-Select START>CONTROL PANEL>PRINTERS AND OTHER HARDWARE
-Select VIEW INSTALLED PRINTERS
-Right click the printer and select PROPERTIES
-ADVANCED Tab has a NEW DRIVER button that will launch a
wizard. I found my printer on this list, installed the
new driver and now my kids can print!

Good luck - Hope it works for you too.
