Re: UAC and Printing

Thank you for your help. I contacted Konica Minolta and received advice on
fixing the problem [see
http://onlinehelp.kmprinters.com/CPDocs/q0108004.htm]. They advised me to
change the security for my user account on my Windows/Temp directory to
include "write".
I did this, and I now can print with UAC enabled, but it takes three minutes
from the time I click print until the printing starts on my ethernet
connected 2300DL. With UAC disabled, printing starts immediately. Can you
help me solve the 3 minute delay problem?
