Can't save printer settings

[Zak]

As before ....

I do not want to have any printer shared but the system refuses to
allow me to set DO NOT SHARE. If I try this setting I get a message
box labelled "Printer Properties" which says "Printer settings could
not be saved. Operation could not be completed."

How can I overcome this?

I have since had this save problem for other printer settings than
SHARE. The message I get refers to some sort of service or server.
The only service I can see is the print spooler and that is running.

Can anyone help.

Thanks.
Zak


BACKGROUND INFO ...

I have eight printers (and faxes) defined in Control Panel > Printers
And Faxes. About half of these are set to SHARE and about half to DO
NOT SHARE.

My machine is a standalone XP+SP1 connected via cable to the Net. I
have administrator privileges and I installed the printer drivers
under my own signon.

Try with the real "Administrator" account.

Unfortunately I get exactly the same (unwanted) result with the real
administrator account.
