Printing from Windows XP

[eduard0 at mail.com]

If your son was able to print in the past from the XP machine,  there's 
a permissions issue. If you're able to print under the 'owner' account 
which I assume is an admin account, it seems that is a permissions 
problem. Check on CUPS the printers settings who's allowed to print. 
Somehow seems that only 'OWNER' is allowed to print but not the other 
account used by your son. Check also the xp printers's property under 
the owner account and looks if something have been changed. Regards
