Are you "logging off" or "switching users"?
Might make difference in how the printer is assigned.
Have you installed the printer for all users?

Hi,

I have a problem printing on XP sp2 with my Lexmark X8350 when I
switch to a different user account.

The strange part is that whichever account I log onto first "gets" the
printer. If I log on to the Admin account, I can print from there -
however if I switch users and log into the limited user account, I
cannot print - it looks like it's printing, the printing icon shows in
the lower right corner, but nothing ever prints.

But if I log onto the limited account first, I can print ok from
there, but not from the admin account if I switch to it.

However, if I log onto one of the accounts, I can log off the account
and onto another one, and it will work fine.

Any one know why I can't print to the same printer if I'm logged onto
2 accounts? And more importantly, if there is a fix!

cheers,

David
