Issue with shared printers, not all perference settings available
Good day, I am having a problem with shared printers.
I have six workstations (Dell T-7500s with Windows 7 Pro) set up on a HomeGroup and all running as if an Administrator is logged on. I have two sets of Printers attached to two of the workstations, one each DNP DS-40 & DS-80 printers on each of those machines.
I have shared the printers out to the other workstations and the printers function properly with one exception.
On the machines that are using a shared printer two of the advanced document settings are grayed out, "Overcoat Finish" and "Print Retry". I am not too concerned about "Print Retry" but I need my folks to be able to access the "Overcoat Finish" selection.
I have tried setting the printer properties to full control for everyone but it made no difference.
The settings in question work normally on the host machines and also on the machine that I set up the HomeGroup on, which is not one of the host machines.
As I am not extremely familiar with Win 7 I am out of ideas, hoping someone here could point me in a new direction.
Thanks,
David Cushman
