Update - put the password back on my admin id, now I can print again! This also gave me back my access to the hard drive C share on my wife's computer. This access had gone away when I removed the password from my admin account.
So I put a password on my standard account and now it too has access to the C share on my wife's computer but this account still cannot print. And my Microsoft account with admin privileges still cannot print nor has access to the C share.
Never did and always had a password. So much now seems to be dependent on having a logon password and this was never the case with any past releases of Windows that I encountered. Yes, on XP and Win 7 I had the same two "standard" ids my wife's and my own with no password and the same admin id with the same password.
These were the same two computers that came with XP and I later upgraded to Win 7. My Win 8 computer, with which I'm having all the problems is a brand new computer that came with Win 8 on it. Put passwords on these two standard accounts and see if that works. Thanks but I already tried that. Didn't work. I'm thinking of deleting the printer and starting over but I've had so much trouble with this I'm very apprehensive.
All the instructions I've been able to find about how to add a network printer sound good, like what I remember from XP and 7, but on Windows 8, sooner or later I get 1 of about 4 or 5 different error messages and no printer. Found suspicious stuff in the registry that had the name of my network printer but nothing that correlated with reality.
Logged onto my admin acct. Built a new standard not admin , local not Microsoft , no-password account to do some experimenting in the registry. Logged onto that account, went into File Explorer, clicked on and expanded "network".
Right clicked on the printer and saw "connect" in the pop-out window. Clicked on "connect" and got a message something like " Right clicked and selected as default Went into MS Word and was able to print to the network printer.
Logged onto the other 3 accounts on my computer and did the same steps. All accounts now able to print. Is this nuts or what?!! I really hate Windows 8. Oh well, on the the next set of problems I'm having with Win 8 Thanks all for your suggestions and attempts to help. As Seen On. Welcome to Tech Support Guy!
