re: Windows XP User Saturday, June 3, 2006 at 1:15 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jeff (957 messages posted) Try this, Temporarily give the limited user account local admin rights. (Add the account to the local administrator's group) Delete the network printer connection while logged into this account after applying admin rights. Re-connect to the network printer while still logged in to this account. Remove admin rights to the user account . Log out, then log back in so limited permissions take effect. Let me know if this works.
