Default Can Share Printer With Some Users Not Others

I have a wireless home network set-up (Vista). One of the PCs (call it PC1) has a printer attached which I have set-up to be shared. I can connect to it with my laptop with no issues.

I have another PC (PC2) that has 4 users (call them A,B,C, and D). A and B can attach to the printer without issue. Only A is an Administrator. B, C, and D are set-up as regular users.

When I try to set-up the printer for C or D, I get a dialog box that wants a username and password to connect to PC1. That didn't happen when I set it up for A or B. None of the username/password combinations work.

I can see the whole network from PC2 logged in as C and D. I can connect to the public folder on PC1 without issue. When I try to open the printer on PC1, I get a 0x00000005 - Access id Denied error.

I've deleted the users and set them up again. I've rebooted so many times. I just don't know what to try next. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks very much!

Welcome to the forum. You problem is simple when you connect to any network device windows takes the username and password for that device to be the one to connect with if it doesnt find a match then it asks for the username/password.

There are 2 way around this.
1 add all the users to vista as accounts with the password they login with on the other pc.
2 in Vista look at the printer and in the security tab you will see it has admin as full control change it to everyone with full control.

The first one will always work the second can be a bit temperamental
