I have several computers running Win2k Pro on a network. I also have an
HP 3500n color laserjet printer connected to the router.
One of my computers is to be used as a print server, and it shares the
HP 3500n.
Another computer (call it "Client 1") is used for composing large Word
documents. Since its spooler eats up its resources, I want all of
Client 1's printing to be handled by the server.
Here's the hitch: when trying to use the print server the first time
after a restart, Client 1 has to log in. The attempt to connect to the
printer does not bring up a login dialog. To get the dialog, the user
must manually attempt to connect to the printer or one of its shared
folders via "My Network Places" or another manual method.
I want Client 1 to be able to access the printer on the server without
requiring a "login." Is this possible? How can I accomplish this?
Many thanks for your advice in advance!
