Answered by:
NETWORK PRINTER ( Access Denied )

Question
-
I AM RUNNING 8.1 on a laptop. When I try to print to a network printer name is SERVER, I receive the message Access Denied. I can print to another network printer and it works ok.
I changed the server name to SERVER_CME and it works ok. I guess SERVER is a reserved word starting with window 8. Does anyone know of a work around for this? I know this is not the correct site, sorry about that, I am 72 years old and sometimes I get lost.

I don't think that name should be a reserved name problem.

I'd probably ask them over here.
