domain printing issues

[davis]

Ok here is an issue...

A user comes from another office within the same
organization with his laptop. That laptop is bound to a
domain controller from where he is from. He comes to our
location, logs in fine(using cached credentials)and needs
to get hooked up to one of our printers here...

He can ping the server with the printers attached to it,
but when you try to browse to it(either by run or network
places), you cannot install or even access the shared
printers because "A log in server cannot be contacted for
your domain" (or something very similar to that).

What would be the best way to get him hooked up to a
printer here? At first thought, I would grant him a
username and password for our domain here, but he would
then have to be removed from his current domain(which
could cause problems going back) and rejoined to our
domain to be able to pick up and use the username here.

Logging on locally would not work because the user does
not have admin privledges and I would not know the admin
password(of course we could get it...)

I am just curious as to what is the best way is for a user
who is already joined to a domain, leave that domain, and
plug in to our network here and still be able to access
resources on our domain?


....i hope i made that clear...

In my office we usually just setup with the IP of the printer so he prints
directly to it instead of going through the print server. You just have to
make sure you have the drivers to load on the laptop if needed.

Hace them print directly to the IP of the printer. They
will need to be plugged into the network but not necessary
to log in.
