    I have some standard users that I don't want to give admin privileges to but
    I cannot get devcon to work for me on their machines. They are using an old
    dos app that use net use lpt1 \\... and it prints fine if I login but when
    the standard user logs in it prints to wrong printer, it won't print to the
    right printer. It prints to another network printer. I assume somehow this
    is a permission issue since I can print fine from the same pc. I downloaded
    devcon as suggested which cracked me up cause in order to run it you have to
    pretty much be an admin. I enabled load/unload and gave them rights to
    system32\drivers but when they print is still goes to the wrong printer.
    I'm able to run "devcon disable *PNP0401" when they are logged in and says
    the device is disabled but still doesn't work. Do you think this is a
    win2000 permission issue or somehow something with the dos app, it doesn't
    know who's logged in so I'm assuming that somehow this is a permission issue
    since I print fine when I login into that machine.

    Thanks
