I have a HP printer hooked to my main computer in the family room and I have
3 other computers that I would like that printer to print from. All my
computers are wireless. When I try to set up any of the computers to use the
main printer I get a password screen and it seems that it wants to log into
the guest log in. the guest are all off. have tried to activate the guest but
no help. This is extremely frustrating. Thanks for anyones help in the
matter.
 
Yes I did. Still no help.

Did you run the Network Setup Wizard when you shared the printer?

The Network Setup stuff is supposed to enable the Guest account. Can you
view any shared files (if you don't have any, add a shared folder on the
machine sharing the printer). If you can remotely access shared files you
should be able to access the shared printer.
