Default XP SP2 - Problems printing when switch Windows user

Are there any print events in the system event log? If there are and the
state win32 error 5 this is an access denied error. Make sure Everyone has
write access to \windows\system32\spool\printers

Might make difference in how the printer is assigned.
Have you installed the printer for all users?

I'm wanting to just switch users, rather than having to log off one
and log onto another.

Is this possible?

The printer can be seen ok from the limited user account (whether I
log off or switch users), so I presume it's installed for all users?

cheers,

Some more info - I just tried to print a large Word document. I can
see Word run through all the pages, and the printer icon shows in the
lower right corner. When I click on it, I see the job, but then it
suddenly says "deleting" and it deletes the job.
