Frank Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Does the user "Guest" have security permissions to print on that printer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Go to your Printer Folder to the machine it is hooked into, right click on the printer, go to the security tab and check the names. You may also want to check your user manager to make sure the guest account is not disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H. Veteran Posted September 10, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 10, 2003 well check properties... then security and check it from the machine it's literally connected to.... not from the linked machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youm0nt Veteran Posted September 10, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted September 10, 2003 i checked the properties the printer was connected to.i do not see a security tab.would the sharing tab do the trick?and now their are three printers listed in the printer folder. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Are you running on Windows XP Home or Professional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mldkfa Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 he's running xp home it looks like. Just make a username and password on your borhters computer that is exactly like the one on your computer. Make him a power_user. (right click on my computer, manage, users and groups, local users, right click on left pannel, new user) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
