I have a shared printer on an XP system. I can access this printer from other windows systems, so I know it works. My problem is that, from OS/2, when I try to create a printer object for it, I get the following message:

--------
"You do not have sufficient access privilege to perform the operation. Contact your system administrator.

If segment swapping is active, the swap file may be full.

Do one of the following; then retry the task:

1. Reduce the number of running programs.
2. Reduce the value of the BUFFERS=, TRACEBUF=, DISKCACHE=, THREADS=, RMSIZE=, or DEVICE=VDISK.SYS statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. Shut down; then, restart the system.
3. Remove unwanted files from the swap file disk; shut down, then restart the system.
4. Install additional memory on your system.
5. Contact the supplier of the application."
------

I can map an LPT port to the shared printer from a command line, so I know the OS/2 system can access it. I can create printer objects to a Windows 2000 shared printer from the OS/2 system, so I that should rule out all of the recommended steps listed above. I'm not sure what to try next, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
