I have two machines ("a" and"b") each running XP-Professional atSP2
level.Machine "a" lacks printers but "b" has two. I used the wizard to
create a workgroup "one" and at machine "b" said to share both printers. At
machine "a" I was able to do "Add printer" for each user. A few days later,
I created users "x" and "y" on "a" but I cannot add printers for"x" or "y".
I get a message box saying "You do not have sufficient access to your
computer to connect to the selected printer." This happens when I browse for
a printer or if I explictly use the "\\b\printer-1" syntax. On "a" the
security tabs say "everyone" can use the priners and "x" and "y" are in the
group "users". Neither "x" nor "y" has admin priveleges. "x" has no password
but "y" does.
Simple sharing is turned off for ALL users on both machines. On "a" the
networkplaces shows the prionters as sharable resources.
