Author What password is the Printers virtual directory asking for.

2004-02-18, 2:34 pm

I installed the IIS for Windows XP and the printer
virtual directory that comes with it. The site itself no
longer ask for a password, due to it now being anounmous
login. But when I click Pause, Resume, or Cancel All
Documents it brings up a login dialog. What login is it
asking for.

Administrator, or user with the correct priv. Pausing, resuming and
cancel of user's jobs are adminstrative tasks.

Can I not pause a printer if it's a shared printer on
another computer.

If you are an administrator... Were all users allowed to do this all
heck might break loose, with people pausing the printer for their own
advantage.

You can, however, pause (and delete, if necessary) your own printouts,
but not another users unless you have administrator priv.
