Hans-Georg,

I figured that you had addressed this earlier.

"The normal way to solve this is to add a group to the printer's
access rights, of which the user is a member. Examples are Users
or Powerusers. Alternatively it is also possible, and reasonable
in very small networks, to add the user directly."

I added "Users" group to the access control list for the printer. The other
users are members of "Users".

"A simpler alternative is to give the Everyone group the right to
print, then the user account wouldn't even be needed here."

The odd thing is that "Everyone" group already had access to the printer.
Despite that, they had to log-on to my PC to connect to the printer ...
