If the printer has a network interface card and the printer and workstation are both on the same IP schema, you should be able to configure the workstation to print directly to the printer via the network without requiring authentication from your domain.

Hope this helps,

I agree with the first reply:
If the printer is connected directly to the network. You could do a direct connect to the ip address of the printer in the printer setup wizard and that should work for you.

use add printer utility choose local printer untick automatically detect choose create port TCP/IP put in address of printer and bam you are off

Hi there, I have the same problem at a school im working in. A laptop in a workgroup will occasionally need access to the printer, it will only print once a username \ password has been entered when trying to logon to the server shares. If i try to print before entering that username \ password, it simply says "Access is denied". I was thinking maybe something along the lines of a batch file set to run on startup?

Thanks,

Chris

net use \\server\printer /user:user@domain passwasshere /persistent:yes
Exit

Put this into startup as a bat and it seems to work ok at the moment, time will tell though

Create an account on the server with his local username/pass and arrange the permissions so that the account has only permissions to print/and whatever else you wish him to have access to. This usually works for me.
