From: John on 18 Dec 2009 10:43 I have lost the ability to print from the alternative user's profile on my XP PC. When pressing "Print" the printer icon appears in the right hand task bar for a few seconds and then disappears. I have Share Printer selected on my profile and the name of the printer is showing on the other profile - but it doesn't seem to 'connect' as I normally see a preview screen. This isn't appearing. I can print documents in the "Shared" folder when I am logged on - but the other user cannot.
