Shring Printers on Win2K Pro

by michaeldanielwinn . Updated 22 years, 8 months ago

There is probably an easy solution to this but for the life of me I can’t figure it out. I have a home network with 3 PC’s connected through a Linksys router. All 3 PC’s are using Win2K pro. I shared a printer on my PC and set the permissions to EVERYBODY and ALLOWED all options, but when I try to print from another computer I cannot access the printer unless I first goto MY NETWORK PLACES and select the PC with the printer and then type in a name and password to CONNECT to that PC. Is there a way to print to the printer with out having to CONNECT to that PC through MY NETWORK PLACES. By the way, I am using a workgroup not a domain and all of the PC’s have the default workgroup name listed (WORKGROUP).
