Hi, can anyone help and give me a definitive answer.
Problem: Limited users cannot print from any program, yet admin users can. Is it attributed to me upgrading to ntfs as some postings hint but never seem to answer many thanks (as son is now eating pieces of carpet as his account DID print but DOESN'T NOW!!) so no hurry... |

Make sure the Everyone group has write access to
\windows\system32\spool\printers. If the driver is attempting to write files to another location, you would need to contact the vendor and ask where the driver stores temp files. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Thanks Alan for the response. I'll try it out tonight after i've rescued the
rest of the lounge furnishings from being started on...wouldn't mind but we don't even have a cat to blame.. Would other problems of this nature be related to security permissions. And were they permission restriction imposed as part of the conversion from FAT32 to NTFS?
