Re: newbie: printing form w2k3 to a foreign domain printserver

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You might try using a lpr/lpd - there is no security in this protocol and it
does not use "Windows networking".

With Windows networking, the user has to get authenticated on whatever
computer owns the resource to be able to use that resource (a shared printer
is such a resource). The only exception to this is if the Guest account is
enabled on the target computer, which of course seriously weakens the
security of that computer.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
