Windows: access to printer denied - here's what to do

When you want to print a document or make changes in the settings of your device, you may be denied access to the printer. If this is the case, you may lack the necessary user rights.

This is what you can do if Windows denies you access to the printer

If you want to make changes to the settings of your printer or print a document, it is possible that you will be denied access to the printer. This may be because you lack user rights.
  1. First, log in to your PC as an administrator and try to access your printer again.
  2. If the process does not give you access, go to your computer's "Control Panel".
  3. Then click on "Devices and Printers" and select "Printer Server Settings" in the following menu.
  4. In the "Security" section, you will find the "Advanced" button, which will open more setting options.
  5. Ändern Sie hier in der Liste die Berechtigungen bei Administrator auf „Vollzugriff“.
  6. Testen Sie anschließend, ob der Fehler behoben wurde.
  7. Achten Sie zudem immer darauf, dass alle Treiber für Ihren Drucker auf dem neusten Stand sind.
  8. Verwenden Sie einen Netzwerkdrucker, kann es passieren, dass die Firewall oder Ihr Antivirenprogramm den Drucker blockieren.
  9. Aktivieren Sie außerdem in der Systemsteuerung die „Druckerfreigabe“.
