I need to give everyone on our workgroup network...
I'm used to a domain environment, and know how to do it there, but can't see
why my workgroup users can't see/access a printer I have just shared on our
network.

How do I set the security so everyone can use this printer.

I'm using XP Pro sp2

Thanks

Kelvin
 
Enable the Guest account on the machine sharing the printer. If you run the
Network Configuration wizard on XP with a shared printer it will enable the
account.
