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?
