Printer Sharing

[Guest]

Whenever I check printer sharing I get a error message that changes can not
be saved. I thought this might have somethinh to do with permissions, so I
followed that path. However when I Click on the printer, while holding down
the control key, I don't get a security tab. I am the administrator,

XP Home, or Pro? If Pro, is "simple file sharing" enabled?
What event log errors do you see?

XP Home.

OK; then you won't see a security tab, b/c Home can use simple file sharing
only.

Where do I find the event log ?

I usually go to start | run, and type
eventvwr

You wouldn't get a 'security tab' in Windows XP Home Edition without being
in Safe Mode as the actual administrator user (username "administrator"...)
