A script that maps the printer manually for the user - based off the
credentials they provide.
I know you can use a vbscript already on Windows XP systems to help you map
a printer - like...

cscript c:\windows\system32\prnmngr.vbs -ac -p
"\\FQDN_of_server\printersharename"

You could also allow them to map domain managed shares the same way.

net use x: \\FQDN_of_server\sharename /persistent:no

For more options on both of those - consult the web (Google) and the built
in help in Windows XP.

I have a Windows 2003 AD domain. And I have a Windows XP Media Center
machine that cannot join the domain (inherent limitation of XP Media
Center).

Can I allow it access to a domian printer?

If so, how?

Thanks
