Default users sharing same printer without admin rights


I have a XP pro PC with say three users who will all need
to print at one time or another to the same wireless
connected HP PSC 2510.

The only way I can get them to all print and not have the
print jobs stay in queue is to give all usters admin
rights.

Say it ain't so, how do I set it up so that even limited
right users can print to the HP 2510?

I have Windows XP Home. A user acct of limited type can
not print. If I change user to Admin type they can print
OK. If you find solution PLEASE POST IT.

I could be the driver but lets try to solve this in XP first.
Check permissions on the spool directory (normally
windows\system32\spool\printers).

HOW TO: Set, View, Change, or Remove File and Folder Permissions in Windows
XP


PS I have no problem printing as user using any of the drivers that are
shipped with XP
