Limited Account cannot print

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

After setting up an Epson 880 USB printer connected to a
print server, I can print just fine from my administrative
account. However, when my wife attempts to print from her
Limited Account, the printer utility quickly blips on the
tray and then refuses to print. Is there some kind of
permission problem here? I looked in her Limited
Account's Printer list and the printer is there, so it
isn't that the printer doesn't show up.

Usually seen on XP Home when also using Norton Antivirus Software....
Solution:

Control Panel, Printers & Faxes, right click on the Printer and select
Properties... in the Advanced tab, change Spool Print Documents to Print
directly to Printer.

I said 'usually seen'. Has been known with other third party applications
as well. Did you try Printing Direct?

I think the problem is that it's on a Print Server.
