print. Any idea's on what I have to do to enable non-administrator
users to print?
Thanks!

Go to the printer/fax folder in control panel/ highlight to select the
printer/right click to select properties?sharing tab/select to share this
printer with all users.

By default this works how you would think - just install it as an admin and
you're good to go.

So I've got two thoughts at this time.
- what happens when a non admin tries to print
- have the people who provided the printer and its drivers maybe got
anything on their support website about how the howling drunks that they are
pleased to call driver programmers have produced something that doesn't run
for non admins?
