Printer Permissions

I have a printer that is shared on my home network and works as should.

I was exploring printer sharing for a friend who is having a sharing problem
and discovered that I do not have the Security Tab as indicated below to set
permissions for a printer if I wanted to.

Any idea why?



TIA

Set up new permissions for a printer

1.. Open Printers and Faxes.
2.. Right-click the printer for which you want to set permissions, click
Properties, and then click the Security tab.

SOLVED:
After a bit more googling here is the solution:


"If the tab appears in Safe Mode, but not normal mode, it means that 'Use
simple file sharing - recommended' is checkmarked in Control Panel, Folder
Options, View."

Unticking the simple file sharing allowed the security tab to appear.
