Err Msg: "You Do Not Have Permission to Modify This Print Job" in Windows 95/98

ID: Q237610

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to delete a print job from a Windows 95/98 client and the print queue resides on a Windows NT Server-based computer, the following error message may be displayed:

You Do Not Have Permission to Modify This Print Job

This error message is displayed even if you are the owner of the print job, and have Full Control permissions to manage documents.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because of a latency between the time the job actually leaves the server, and the time that the client queue refreshes. The print job no longer resides on the server; it is already spooled out to the printer and is in the printer's memory.
