Guest account is no longer able to spool to printer after SP2 install. Admin
account CAN print however. Has anyone else experienced this problem.
Printer is a HP Deskjet 825c.

Thanks

Hi,

Open Windows Explorer to this folder, check that everyone has "read and
execute" permissions:

C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers

To access permissions, you right click the folder and click sharing and
security. For this tab to show in WinXP Pro, you need to disable "simple
file sharing" in folder options. For WinXP Home, you need to restart the
system in Safe mode and logon as administrator.
