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?
