I have a small workgroup set up at home with a laser jet shared on one
of the members. I also have a work machine that is in a domain that I
would like to
print from. Is there a way that I can print to the laserjet and still
stay in the domain?domain.
Please help!!
See the following information from MVP Lanwench about using your domain
member laptop at home:
Note - you don't need to change to a workgroup just to access resources
on it. You shouldn't play with your laptop's network settings at all.
Once you've logged in using your domain account (using cached
credentials), and have an IP address on the home network, you can map
drives, use printers, whatnot, very easily - one way, in a command
line:
net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
Also see:
MS KB article about the Net Use command -

If that all looks to be too much trouble, put the documents you want to
print on a usb thumbdrive and transfer them to one of the home
computers and print from there.
