Hi,
I also had this problem on my windows 2000 os. On the same machine I
have also winxp os. The samsung printer is installed to winxp without
any problem. The same procedure does not work on win2000 os. If I
ignore "access denied" warning the printer could not find the usb port
on its setting. So I cannot use this printer on win2000 system. I also
wrote this problem to samsung. They send me a new driver but problem
cannot be solved. After that they said that they need to inspect both
the computer and the printer to be able to solve this problem. But
because they do not have any support in my country (Turkey) they could
not help me. If any one solves this problem I will appreciate him/her

thanks a lot ....
