I am running windows 2000 professional and set up my
network (which is running great)....except I share a
single printer between 4 other workstations....when I try
to print from one of the remote workstations I get a
message which states a pasword is required to make the
connection?? I never set up any passwords to access
printers...My login apparently is not the password it is
looking for...anyone have an idea? Thank you very much!
