Sharing in Workgroup based Network

[Guest]

In a Workgroup base network with windows xp:
1- i disable the user guest at computer 1 and then when i want to connect
from computer 2 to 1 i get a window that i must enter user name and pass.
but i have a printer connected to computer 1 and is shared and with guest
disabled i can not send print from computer 2 to computer 1.

2- i enable guest at computer 1. i have a shared folder at comp 1 that
specific user can see it. but when i want to connect to computer 1 from 2 and
access the shared folder, i get an error message " access is denied".

what can i do? can the user and pass window be displayed with guest enabled?
