We have networked together a number of computers in a computer center and
were in the process of setting up a shared printer. However, we found that
while we could use the shared printer over the network while logged on in
"Administrator" mode on each of the computers, when we logged in as user
name: Patron (who is a "limited user") access to the shared printer over the
network was "Denied." We need to know how to enable the permissions for
limited users to use the network printer.

Furthermore, when logged on as Administrators on each of the computers, we
can view the entire network in "My Network Places," however, when logged on
as Patrons, we cannot access the network. I have a feeling the problems are
related, but I'm not smart enough to know which settings in which menus I
need to adjust.
 
hi,
on computer who share the printer give to that user the rights "allow access
this computer from network":
local security policy->local policies->user rights assignement
