I have a Windows network with two laptops. I am sharing
the printer between the two of them. I have a work laptop
that I'd like to have use the printer as well. The
problem is is that the work laptop normally authenticates
to an NT domain. I do not want to put the laptop into the
Windows workgoup (did this one time and got locked out of
my laptop). How can I print from this laptop to my
Windows workgroup?
 
On working computer
Create a local user account in working LAPTOP (which one u use to login to
domain and printer is connected).
Share the printer

From another computer
Connect to the work laptop with the IP address
When it prompts for authentication given local user credentials
It will install the printer
