Have a Win 2K workstation. Have an I/P printer
installed. If logged in as Administrator--(All local
login) all printing is fine. If logged in as a "user"--
only printing blank pages. Have added the local logged in
user name to the printers security, allowing printer.
(Have also added the "user" group) Have set the printer
to share. I give up. Any Ideas? THANKS.
 
This is probably a driver-related issue. Which printer are you using? Are
you using a driver provided by Microsoft (with Windows 2000), or have you
installed a driver from the manufacturer?

Have you tried a different driver?

What printer are you using? We had a problem like this with XP
stations/2003 server/HP Laserjet 4 - we had to roll out a new printer in
the end :-)

It's a Lexmark printer. I'm using the Lexmark driver.
(Why/how could it be a driver issue?--it prints fine with
the administrator user? Hum??
