Default Printing to Vista


Hello,

I have three computers, 2 XP and a Vista.

The computer with Vista has an USB shared printer.

All three computers have captured LPT ports to this printer with NET
USE LPTx '\\SERVER\PRINTER' (file://\\SERVER\PRINTER) /PERSISTENT:YES.

I can print with an MS-DOS program to that printer from any XP computer
and from command line on the Vista itself but not from the MS-DOS
program on Vista. I receive a Printer no ready error.

I suspect this is a matter with permissions but I can't figure out
what, where or how to change them.

Anybody knows where can I look at those permissions? Thanks.

Do you have 3rd party security software? Or try clean boot for
troubleshooting.

Hi Bob,

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

But the question is simply wheter it is possible or not to change the
permissions level for a printer.

If I'm really right about the problem is about permissions, but this is
another subject.

By default, everyone should have a permission to print. If you do want to
check the permission or add more permissions, click Start, type print,
select print management and then the printer properties to check the
Security.
