Printer issue in Win2k

[MooShoe]

Hello all. I have an interesting problem with my Win2k install. I have multiple users set up on my box so everyone in the house can have their own settings. What's wierd is when anyone other than myself logs onto the box, the printer doesn't work. I can tell my programs, say Word, to print, and the little printer icon will appear in the tray. If you click on the icon to see what's going on, it says it is deleting the print job.

Anyone know where I can look to see why that is?

Oh, I'm set up in the Administrators group and everyone else is set up as a Power User. Could this have some wierd effect on printing?

What are the security settings on the printer? Also, as one of the users, can you get a test page to print?

Hmmm... Well, I've gone into the printer's properties dialog and on the security tab, allowed everything to everyone. Still no printing by other users. There are certain people that I don't want to give admin rights to just because I know they'll end up messing something up on the box... I don't think I should have to give everyone admin rights just to print. That just doesn't sound right to me.

I'll check it out a bit more later, and see if I can get a test page to print out from another user's account.
