Printing Access Rights
Hi there,
I have a problem where I can print on my Lexmark printer as I am an admin user, but my children cannot. They are logged on as normal users. The issue definitely appears to be access rights, because if you log on as a normal user and select Run as Administrator on the print properties dialog, the Print Test Page option then works. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Printing Access Rights
Is this a Lexmark driver that is included in Vista?
I know of two vendors who have drivers that write something to the \windows\temp directory and this will fail for users. The file creation process should be performed by the spooler. If the driver is calling create in the user context, then this failure would be expected. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Please inform Lexmark of this error.
Also could you give the printer model and the driver version and I can work with Lexmark from the Microsoft side. thanks -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
