admins can print... users cant

[Tricia]

Yes the disk is NTFS. I tried to figure out how to set
the
permissions on the spool directory. I am an NT/Wn2K
admin,
but XP Home makes me nuts...

Here is what I know...
my account is a member of administrators group
all other users are members of the users group

I cant find any play to administer groups or set
permisions on the directories.

I tried moving the spool dir to the shared docs folder
since I know that all users have access to this folder.
All this did was make it so the aministrator could not
print....

Got mad... rebuilt system from ghost image restore
disks...

Same problem....

Changed one user to administrator type from limited...
like magic they can print!

So this is definately a premission problem either on the
printer or on the ntfs folder.

Soooooo .... how the heck do i change the permissions?????

thankssssssss

get this ... contacted e mchines for support cuz the
permissions are coming from the ghost restore image and
they said to give every user admin rights...

uggggghhhh .... any help would be appreciated... cuz a 12
yo with admin priv is a scarey thing... makes me have to
spend 3+ hours a week un-jacking all the stuff he has
done....

I have the same difficulty. Minor variation though, users can print to
printer connected to LPT1, but not the printer connected to the USB
port. Would love to hear how to fix this!!! Just in case it matters,
LPT1 printer is a CanonBJC-4400 and the USB printer is a HP7350.
Can anyone help???

We've seen this happen when Norton Antivirus is installed.... but I have no
clue as to why NAV appears to cause this.

You can resolve the problem by:

Right clicking on the printer from the Control Panel and selecting
Properties.

Click the Advanced Tab and instead of the default which is Spool print
documetns so program finishes printing quicker, select

Print directly to the printer.

Or, the alternative is to find another antivirus software!
