In our building we have 2 networks, both servers are running Windows 2000 Server. One server is running without a Domain and has a Xerox Phaser as a shared printer.

The other server is a Domain server and from here I can see and print to the Phaser. I am trying to enable the users of this second server to see and print to the Phaser as well.

Is this printer attached directly to the server, if not, does the printer have an IP address, if so, create a new queue on the domain server and point it to the ip address of the printer using TCP/IP printing and then share the printer as normal. It should be ok to have more than one queue pointing to the same printer.

FYI - the Domain Server network configuration had to be changed so IP addresses, subnet, & gateway matched. Once this was done - I could print via IP. Thanks.

The above should work, but since it was setup as a shared printer... it may have an ACL (access control list) -- Xerox Phasers are wax-based color printers and media is not inexpensive.

You may have to go to the shared workstation and right-click on the printer in Control Panel --> Printers and click on the Security Tab (make sure Everyone group is there, or add users).
