Can't use shared printer after reboot

[Guest]

I have a small network of all win2k machines, all workstations. I have
shared a printer on one and everything seemed to work fine. But when a
machine reboots it loses its connection to the printer and it won't work. I
have to go into the network neighborhood and click on the computer that is
sharing the printer and re-enter the username and password then it will
print fine again. If the computer hosting the printer reboots all the other
computers then have to do this. Is thier anyway to get around this. Before i
upgraded from win98 thier was a checkbox that would remember the password to
a shared printer. win2k does not seem to have this option. any suggestions?

Is there a reason you need a password on a shared printer resource? I'd
just remove it.
