No "Security" Tab on Printer Properties, But I Am an Admin..

[Guest]

Howdy. I'm trying to share my locally-attached printers
on my XP Pro machine with a Windows 2000 machine across
the room. The W2K machine can see and use my printers,
but cannot change the properties of those printers. When
I looked up the problem in Help, it said to select
the "Security" tab in printer properties. I don't have
a "Security" tab. Help says if I'm an administrator,
the "Security" tab will appear. When I go to User
Maintenance, I can only select "Computer Administrator"
or "Limited." I selected "Administrator" for my account,
but I don't have a "Security" tab on printer properties.

What did I forget?

Thanks.

Mike G.

I appreciate your help. There's still a problem:

I got the "Security" tab by following your directions.
Thank you.

I have two printers attached to my HP deskop. I can see
the "Security" tab from the local machine. I can
manipulate the properties of one of the printers (HP
DeskJet 990), but I cannot do so for the other printer
(HP Photosmart 7760w).

The security settings of both printers are identical, as
viewed from their local machine.

I cannot find a setting that's different for the 7760,
compared to the 990. Do you have any suggestions?

Mike
