In windows 2000, you need to be joined to a domain or be logged on to a computer to be able to use it's shared printer. Is there any way to use the shared printer without logging in to the remote computer?

sure, if you enable GUEST on the pc sharing that computer... but... do you really want to do that?

just make a username / password on the pc sharing the printer exactly as the username / password you are trying to connect from.

good luck.
