Promblems with a Connect from a non-domain computer to a w2k domain print queue

[Guest]

Hi folk

We have a small issue with printing from a traveller notebook which is not member of our W2K AD Domain

Infrastructure: Windows 2000 Server Active Directory with a separate Windows 2000 Print-Server. The client is Windows XP Professional with SP1

The user plugs in his notebook to our network, receives a IP Adress and wants to print to a print queue on the W2K Print Server. While adding the printer the first time, we have to authenticate towards the Print Server rsp. the Active Directory. The user with the traveller Notebook has a valid Domain Account. Then, everything is ok, the user can print out

The next day, when he wants to print to the same queue, then he receives the message access denied. We have then tried to connect to the IPC$ or print$ Share, to have some credentials (token) to work with. But this does nothing. He can't print

We use NT & NTLM Authentication, NTLMv2 when negotiated.

We have no Group Policy Objects applied to the Server, but some to the domain controllers

How can I establish the connection to the print server to get this working

Regards

Did you connect to the IPC$ share using a command like:

net use \\printserver\IPC$ password /user:domainname\username
/persistent:yes

or using some other technique?
