I have done everthing you have said several timess.

My admin and Power User accounts work fine. My regular User accounts do not
work. I have openned up the printer access to everyone, users, guests, you
name it. I
don't want to have to make my user accounts into Power Users, but I may have
no choice.

Here is an Event Viewer log entry for one of the attempts:

The document [url]http://www.armoredpenguin.com/crossword/bin/crossword.cgi[/url],
owned by Jody, failed to print on printer HP Photosmart C4100 series on
Varnhome1 Port. Try to print the document again, or restart the print
spooler.

Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 327680. Number of
bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 2. Number of pages
printed: 0. Client computer: \\VARNHOME2. Win32 error code returned by the
print processor: 1327. Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible
reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a
policy restriction has been enforced.


Note that I do use logon time restrictions for the user accounts, but the
time period when the print job was submitted is within the allowed period.
