From: kobi1 on 22 Jun 2008 07:49 I am trying to enable the printer sharing in windows XP programmatically. The operation i am trying to imitate is: 1. right click on a local printer (in printers and faxes window). 2. choose sharing from menu. 3. press on the "I understand the security risk..." hyper link. 4. choose just enable printer sharing. 5. press on the "OK" button. I have tried to look all over the web for what happening below the surface when i choose the "Just enable printer sharing" but could not find a clue. Please help me understand what is happening when i choose the "just enable printer sharing" and how can I imitate it? Thanks, Kobi.
