I have problem to do with a network printer and limited user accounts.

I have one computer running WinXP HE SP2 that has a HP 930c installed on it. I have an administrative user account and a limited user account set up. Both users can print without a problem.

I have connected my laptop, also running WinXP HE SP2, to the other computer. The laptop also has administrator and limited accounts. As the administrator on the laptop, I set up a network using the wizard in the control panel. I can access shared documents on the computer with the printer as any user on the laptop. On the computer with the printer, I shared the printer on the network. The printer now shows up in the "Printers and Faxes" list on the laptop, for all the users, adminstrators and limited.

I can print as the administrator on the laptop but not as the limited user. The print queue shows up for the limited user on the laptop and I can see other users' print jobs but I can't send my print jobs to that queue.

For obvious security reasons, I don't want to add the limited user to the adminstrators group or elevate the privileges of the user any more than I have to.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
