Wireless Printing Requires Administrator Login
I have a laptop running on Vista Home Basic that needs to print to a wireless
HP Laserjet 1022 printer that is using it's own dedicated HP wireless router purchased with the printer at Office Depot. I have no problems printing to it as long as the Administrator has logged in to the laptop and given permission to do so. The problem I have is when the computer is rebooted and the Administrator is not around to put the printer back online with his password, a standard user can't print to it. The Administrator has fiddled with the sharing on the printer and changed it so it should be able to share and print from anyone, but maybe I am still missing something. Any ideas on how to get around this, as it is virtually impossible for the Administrator to be at this location at all times? I don't want to give up the security of the parental controls that I need for Standard Users by assigning them as Administrators, so where do I go from here?

Wireless Printing Requires Administrator Login
does the driver write any temp files to \windows\temp?
Verify that all users have write access to \windows\system32\spool\printers If that does not help ask HP about the driver. -- 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.
