Printer Queue Access Denied
I have 2 computers.One runs windows 7,the other has windows 10.The 7,I have had for a long time,works great. The 10 I up dated from 8 in November, but have had the computer for about 5 years.Both are Dells. On windows 10 I do not use cortana or edge.I have both computers networked and a Canon Pixma ix6500 printer connected to the windows 7 computer. Have never had a problem printing from windows 10 until 2 days ago.
Now it get a box telling me 'access is denied'. I can click on the printer and am told to enter my name and password.
Win32 error: Access is denied.' That constructor has a few overloads (including sending no parameters). Trying any of those, I get past that line, but when I get to the printQueue.Purge call, I get the same access denied message as listed above.
Printer Queue Cancel Access Denied
Never had to do that either. I can print from the windows 7 computer that the printer is connected to and can move files from the 7 to the 10 computer but not the other way as I once could.What are my options?
Do I need to install the printer on the windows 10 computer? Could the change for needing a password be from an update for windows 10?Any help is appreciated. I may not have enough information here, but at 86 I really dont know all the inner workings of computers. I have not installed or added anything new to either computer. I use malwarebytes and Avast and also Spybot.
How To Clear Printer Queue Windows 10
IF out of the blue, you are suddenly getting 'Access denied' when you weren't before, I would suspect an update to your third party security suite(s) might be responsible.My suggestion would be to completely uninstall (remove) both Avira and Spybot and reboot and see if your printer access magically returned.Access denied would typically indicate you are attempting to use a network resource without the proper username and password. I've seen security suites produce the same error incorrectly.Worse case. Remove the printer from the Windows 10 machine.Go back and unshare and reshare it on the Windows 7 machine, then try adding it back using the add printer wizard on the windows 10 machine.IF it sees it and prompts for credentials, make sure fill the authentication prompt text boxes correctly.MachineNameUserNamePasswordWhere MachineName is the name of the Windows 7 machine (followed by a backslash) and UserName is the name of a user on the Windows 7 machine and Password is the password for that user on the Windows 7 machine.
