This machine is logged in as say a user called JAMESTOWN with password BadPass123 now you need to either configure this account on the other machines accessing the printer so it says ohh thats Jamestown he's cool.<BR/><BR/>Currently you probably have one logged in as administrator one as JamesTown etc... Windows does not think you have access and does not let you get to the printer.<BR/><BR/>Either get the permissions worked out and matched up or share the printer for EVERYONE and you should no longer have an issue.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if this helps or if you need further clarification. And if so we can do a full post on workgroup printing.Karl L.

They have a printer plugged directly into one of them and they want to share it out to the other two. They used to have a similar setup with Windows ME before they finally upgraded. I tried to share out the printer using the 'print server's' IP address, but it isn't working. I have shared it out on the server computer, and opened the port in the firewall. It is an authentication/trust issue though I think. I also made sure they were all on the same workgroup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35119159.post-80088399450271127482007-07-05T18:26:00.000-04:002007-07-05T18:26:00.000-04:00actually Jamestown i couldn't get it to work.
