Auto logon to printer sharing computer

by jmw . Updated 22 years, 6 months ago

I have 4 workstations at home (2 – Win2000 and 2 – XP). I have a HP G85 printer attached to my own system (Win2000) and I am sharing it over the LAN. However, if I reboot my system, while anyone else is on the LAN, then they lose connection to my printer and we have to use WIN Explorer to reconnect to the printer and in order to do this you have to type in the logon and password for my system.

Is there anyway to set up the other users so that they don’t have to do this. Is there a way to have each of the other machines do an automatic logon to my machine when they lose connection to my printer?
