Re: Network needs to bypass Password for Printing



How can I log into another computer using a non-guest account?

In Windows XP Home, this is only doable by using Safe Mode. I'd rather not
have to run safe mode on these computers all the time.

Hello,

I managed to set up a password on a Windows XP Home Edition network by
adding a password to the guest account on each computer. Now when I try to
connect to another computer, it prompts for a password, unless you're
logged into a user account with a matching password.

Sucess.

However, I want to be able to print to the diffirent computers, without
having to give out this password. Otherwise, there would be no purpose in
giving out the password.

Any ideas?

I was thinking maybe I could delete the guest account on a computer, and
then give permissions to individual user accounts...This might be a risky
thing to do though.
