I have a computer running W2K Pro that has a printer
installed on LPT1. I would like to share it with another
computer on our network running W98. I have set it up as
a shared printer, but every time the W98 computer tries to
print it a window pops up and asks for a password. We do
not have any passwords set up on the W2K computer. What
is the problem? I tried to set up this other computer as
an authorized user, but can't seem to figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
