new printer can only be used by power users
I have winXP pro with simple file sharing disabled. There are power users as
well as normal users. A parallel port printer that was installed a long time ago can be used by all. A freshly installed local printer (attached to the network) can only be used by the power users. A normal user sees its job in the print queue but it remains there forever with the message that the printer is offline and busy printing. I tried the following: - disable spooling (print directly to printer): does not help - fixed permissions on temp and spool directories (writeable to normal users): does not help - even when a nomal user is changed to become a power user, that user still cannot print. It seems that only power users who existed before, can print - fixed xp's permissions wih the secedit comman (following KB313222): does not help Any suggestions? How can I debug this? |
