Quite simply. if more than one user is using the said computer then
determining who has access
to what resources may be important, and printers are considered a
resource. I can understand your
frustration, but if other people with access to your computer with
another account use your printer
resources without permission I suspect you'd eventually get annoyed. It
amounts to be careful what
you wish for.
