ok, do you have simple sharing enabled? You don't want it enabled. Do
this, open up My Computer, go to Tools/FolderOptions Click on the View tab,
Go all the way to the bottom, and you will see the last choice as "Use
simple file sharing (Recommended). Uncheck the box. You will now see the
security tab when you select the properties for the printer (or anything
else for that matter)
