For some reason I am unable to give printer access to another computer within my workgroup. The printer is currently shared, connected to a usb port to my computer, and the networked computer is able to detect and install the drivers for the printer. After installation, the printer's description notes "Access denied, unable to connect" Is there something in particular I have to do to give special permissions?

Right-click on your printer and look for the security tab on your printer. Depending on the version of OS you are using, you may have other things you need to do as well also depending on the OS, the Security tab may not be a tab but may be located under Advanced or another section. Please include your OS version in a comment if you need further help.
