Shared Printing

I have a small W2K workgroup network and one of the client
PC's is being used as a print server. The printers share
status is set for everyone but other PC's can't print to
it because of security or access denied problems. If I
add a user account to the print server PC then the new
account user is granted access to the shared printer.
Anyone know why this is? This is not the only time I have
experienced this problem.

The print server pc probably has the GUEST account DISABLED. I've found
that same issue - but once I created accts on the print server pc that
matched the accts on the originating pc's, the problem went away - I do NOT
want to enable the guest acct.

This is by design. The everyone group reflect everyone
who the PC knows about, ie, Users and Groups on the local
PC.
