I have three computers with windows 2000 professional networked as “workgroup” not “domain”. All has administrative rights. Just a simple network and no security no limits considered. I gave full permission to each computer to share the printer but I can not share it. I find the printer in network, try to add it, the message I get is “access denied”. I know all the permissins are givien. If I connect the rpinter to a computer with windowsXP, I have no problem sharing it with others that have windows 2000 OS.One unusual thing I noticed, I can find the printer in network under workgroup icon not under the computer itself, this tells me I am missing something. In windowsXP, when I search the printer on network it shows up under the computer name it is connected.
Could some one tell me what am I missing? Should I set up the network as “domain” instead of “workgroup”? what do I need to do to share a printer with windows 2000 OS?
Thank you
