I have an HP 1350 all-in-one printer/scanner on a stand alone Sony VAIO
running XP Home. My partner and I both have administrator privileges and no
problem printing, but the kids, who are set up as Limited Users, get a print
quality that's barely readable. Plus it's blue, which eats up the cartrides.
I have tried changing the kids' print quality settings and everything, but
with no luck. HP says it's Microsoft's problem and I should just make
everyone administrators.

Can I create a path to the print drivers or something so the Limited Users
can print normally?

Thanks!

You might want to post your question in a printing newsgroup such as
Microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax . Shame on Microsoft for not giving
regular users that same powers as administrators to make code writing easier
for outfits like HP. Someone at that newsgroup may no a work around. ---

Thanks, Steve.
I'll give that a try.

If you're running Symantec (Norton) products it's a known issue with XP
Home. Either choose a better antivirus solution or go into the Control
Panel, click on Printers & Faxes, right click on your Printer and select
Properties.... click on the Advanced tab and set the printer to print
direct, instead of using the spooler.
