Default Can't delete printer - Access Denied

Alan Morris [MSFT] wrote:

is this a local printer or a connection to a shared printer


I have a borrowed Vista Business laptop (which I must return later
today). I added both a local printer and a network printer. I right
clicked the icon for each printer and neither of them has Run As
Administrator on the context menu. I must be missing something.

I also do not understand why logging on as a user other than
Administrator and using Run As Administrator will let me delete the
print jobs and the printer when enabling the Administrator account and
logging on as Administrator will not let me delete either the print
jobs or the printer.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
