Hello
My problem is the following :
With admin users, i can map network printers (UNC path) to
local LPT1 port.

But with non-admin profiles, Windows Xp says "Access
denied".

How can i assign LPT1 port to a network printer for
standard users?
Can i apply this setting for all users on this computer?

Thanks

Samy
 
If the LPT1: port is a physical device on the system normal user cannot
redirect output to the network device

Use LPT2: or 3: for nonadmin
