Hi,
I'm using (a dutch version of) windowsxp personal edition, sp1 and
microsoft fax-service / faxconsole 5.1.

On this PC 4 users have been defined: 1 having full system management
rights; the other 3 have limited rights.

When I 'print' to the fax (for instance in Word) having system management
rights, everything goes well.

However problems occur when I try to fax as a user with limited rights.
Everything seems to go ok, but the actual fax sending doesn't start. And
there is no mentioning of the fax in the fax console either.

However, when I reboot and log on with system management rights. the fax
sending starts of right away (and the fax appears in the fax console as
well).

This seems a 'rights' problem. Does anyone have an idear what to change
(for instance in the registry) so I can send faxes as a user with limited
rights?

Did you read the Help files? There is an extensive discussion of permissions
there and what each user group can do. You cannot override those settings.
 
Russ,
it's obvious that I didn't do that. I simply didn't expect it to find it
there.

Thanks a lot

Did you try setting the appropriate permissions from the Security tab of Fax
printer properties?
