Cannot Update Cached Forms if You Are Not an Administrator (312297)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0

This article was previously published under Q312297

SYMPTOMS

Windows NT-based clients can cache printer forms in the registry. After a form is cached, an administrator can update forms on the server side, and these changes are sent to the client-side cached forms. If a user has administrator permissions for the local computer, cached forms refresh correctly. However, if you are logged on to the local computer as a user that does not have administrator permissions, you may not be able to refresh your cached printer forms.
