I recently got a new Dell computer with Windows2000 Pro
installed. It runs great. I have 8 other older compters
that I need to have share an HP4100 laser printer. The
older machines run on Windows98. In the past they all
shared the printer and worked fine. On the new Windows2000
machine I installed the printer and set it up to share.
When I try to set the older machines to share through the
new machine I come up with a message password needed for
access and \IPC$ error. There are no passwords assigned
for the new computer. A message also says if I am going to
use machines with older versions of windows to install
additional drivers. When I try to do this I get a message
to insert a Windows2000 server disk that I do not have
since this machine is a single work station. What can I
do???
