can't set all printers to "not share"

[Zak]

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?

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.

I get links like this one:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all
/deployguide/en-us/sdccd_psv_myig.asp

and that points to

/deployguide/en-us/sdccd_psv_beqe.asp

and it all doesn't make much sense to me!
