Re: XP Professional SP3 - HP Photosmart 2710 - Admin works - Users
Thanks for the reply Alan,
I created a local group, so that I can trace what changes I made.
I have given
full access to \windows\system32\spool\printers,
Modify access \windows\temp
I have used some Tools like filemon and regmon, by doing runas to launch
them, but no real evidence as to what is failing.
The interesting thing, is the work is obviously spooled, but it is not until
the workstation is rebooted, and logged on by a admin, does it print.
I have also applied the security using the groups to the HP install
directories, and sub-dirs with full access, but nothing appears to work.

when the spooler is restarted, all pending print jobs are printed in the
spooler context.
Disable Bidirectional on the ports tab. I've seen several HP drivers with
language monitors (status notification dialogs) that require admin access to
whatever it is that they need.

Re: XP Professional SP3 - HP Photosmart 2710 - Admin works - Users
Alan,
Thanks for answer, but made no difference. I have added more auditing to
the registry, and I believe that I have got 1 step closer. For some stupid
reason, the HP drivers are opening the HKLM\Software\Hewle... P\... with
write+ mode. Std users do not have geenrally have anything other than read
permission on HKLM. I have added the Local Group to the key + sub-keys, and
it appears to go further.
I have also posted on the HP printer forum. Yet no replies.
Thanks again. I will continue my saga to fix this.
