Hello,

When I try to add a new printer using Add Printer Wizard,
the "My Computer" option is greyed out, leaving only
the "Network Printer Server" option available. Please
help.

Bong.

Sounds like you don't have admin rights to the computer. (Is this your own
home computer, or a computer on the network at your place of work? If it's
the latter, you might need your network admin/IT department to help you
out.)

Hello thanks for the reply, but I am logged in as the
Administrator. I have fiddled around with the user rights
but with no luck.

What OS version are you using?

Can you add a printer driver or a port?
