Printing problems with Vista and UAC.

Hi there

I am running Vista home premium and using a Panasonic Kxp6300 Laser printer
(its a dinosaur but its still going).

When I try to print a document through word or any other program with UAC
turned off all is fine, however if I have UAC turned on the document will not
print, it shows as waiting to print in the print spool but never prints.

If I go into control panel and open the printer as an administrator I can
print a test page successfully with UAC on or off.

Apart from turning UAC off, does any one have a suggestion?

Regards

Mark
