Limited user account can't print, admin is okay...

[Guest Homer J. Simpson]

I have an HP LaserJet 4350dtnsl hooked up to a machine's parallel port and

shared. I can print as myself (an admin account) from any machine on my

LAN. I've installed the latest drivers I could find on HP's site.

 

I have a restricted user account on one of the machines (not the one with

the printer), and this user can't print--even Notepad is giving 'access

denied' messages. This particular user only has an account on this one

machine. This is a home LAN, without a domain controller or Active

Directory, so this user can only log in locally on that machine (eg, he

can't roam and log on other machines using domain credentials). Dunno if

that's relevant, but it can't hurt to describe my LAN setup. If I log on

that machine using my admin account, I can print from it.

 

If I grant admin rights to that account, remove, then add the printer again,

I can print from the account. Remove the admin rights, access denied.

Grant the rights back, still can't print, until I remove the printer and add

it back. Because of that, it's really getting to be a hassle to diagnose.

 

Various Google search results recommend granting the 'Everyone' account full

access rights to the system32\spool folder, the print$ share,

c:\windows\temp, etc, all to no avail. I'm running out of ideas, and I

*really* would prefer that account to stay as a restricted user.

 

Thoughts?
