I have an Hewlett Packard XP Media Center Edition 2005 and an HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One printer, scanner, copier.

The computer (XP Home) is set up with three user sessions, Debbie, Chris, and Pete (me). If Debbie boots, and logs in to her SESSION, there is no problem. Chris, and I can log in, and all is still fine until one of us tries to print. Debbie (first to log in) can print OK, but Chris and Pete, after sending a print job, will have to log into Debbies user session. There will be a Print PREVIEW screen waiting there, and we can then click "Print", and the printing will start. My family can work around this because we all know each others password, but it's a pain to have to continually switch USERS to print.
Another note... when a print file is sent to the printer, a printer que icon does SHOW up in the sytem tray indicating a print job pending. Click on that, and a print window tells me that a job is printing.
Thanks for any help.
Pete
Reinstall printer software, this time making sure, it's installed for ALL users.Broni,
Thanks for the reply
I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software. There was no screen asking about ALL users. I looked in all printer config or settings menus and found no help. After reinstall, I have the same problem
Maybe a windows setting is off somewhere?
Peteinstall under each users session?


INSTALL under an administrator account?It was installed in an administrator account. I hadn't thought about multiple installations for each user. I will try that tonight.
Thank you'
Pete
