Confused
I have a printer physically located on a machine running
win2k. I also have two other machines connected to the
network. Another win 2k machine and a win 98se machine.
All three machines can see and connect to the printer if
I log on to the "primary" (the one the printer is actually
connected to)machine using the current users logon and
password.
I would like to be able to allow the two machines not
physically connected to the printer to be able to print
to the printer without them having to use "my" logon and
password to access the printer.
Current example:
1. Primary machine = connects & prints fine.
2. Networked 2k machine = must browse in windows explorer
to "primary" machine in the "computers near me", click
on "primary" computer, enter the "logged on user name
and password, right click connect. (this is a real pain)
3. Win98se machine can only see the "primary" machine in
exporer but cannot access it because win98 does not
allow for user name entry when attempting to connect,
only password.
The obvious problem is that I'd rather not give "my" logon
and password to the other to machines and secondly I'd like
to streamline the other two machines ability to connect to
the printer and use it as the default printer without
having to browse and logon to print.
Ideas, suggestions?
