Hi,

I have a small network strickly peer to peer, file & printer sharing, no
problem. Now I have one additional individual that want to share/access
printers on the network. The issue I want them to access printers but not
files or anyone else computer. Currently everyone is setup with the same work
group name accept for the one individual. How do I allow access to printers &
not files?

thanks
 
I may not have explained myself clearly. Let me try again.

Currently the network has 7 users on it who share file & printers - this is
good and I want this to continue. I have one new user #8, who I only want
this to use the printers. I do not want them to have access to any files on
any of the other 7 computers.

If I disable simple file sharing on #8, keep them in the same workgroup as
the other 7. Will #8 be able to access the printers but not any of the files
on the other 7 computer?

thanks
