Shared Printer Oddity

[Guest]

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

I have 1 user that cannot connect to a shared printer on the network.
Previously they were able to see the printer but now cannot. If I login using
Admin credentials I can add the printer.

I think it's a permission problem, but why all of the sudden? The printer is
an Epson Stylus Color 900. When installed XP picked it up and installed the
driver. Epson does not provide an XP driver on their website. I would assume
because it's already built in.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

OK. A little bit more on this one. It works after I log into the PC with the
attached printer as an Admin and then print from the probelm PC. The
"problem" PC is logged in as a User.

I noticed there were several open sessions on the PC with the attached
printer. I closed all of these sessions and open files. Would that have
anything to do with why the users PC couldn't add the printer?

It could do, if it meant the connection limitation was exceeded.
