I am having a problem with a simple XP pro (SP2)system (server) when I set
the printer to share over the network on the client machine I can see the
server but the printer share does not show up! when I try to add a network
printer. If i type in the path to the printer ie:\\server\lexmarkE the client
computer replies with a logon asking the username and password. There is no
logon username or password on the server or the client?? Baffeled !!! any
ideas??
