Peer to peer printing problems

[Budboy]

OK here's my problem

I have a simple peer to peer network set up in my home. It consists of

a desktop running Windows 2000 and two laptops running Windows XP with
wireless networking.
The Windows 2000 machine is hooked up to a Lexmark USB printer.
The Windows 2000 machine also has a user for just printing. Now I have

added a printer on the laptop's and connected as the print user, I also

click the checkbox that says remember password or something like that.


OK so after I add the printer, I can print all the laptop's fine. And
then I shut the laptop off, and when you turn the laptop back on and
try to print it says access denied. if I go to the Windows 2000
desktop, which is directly connected to the printer I can print fine.


Please please help me with this issue. I know I am doing this almost
right is gotta be one small issue.
Oh yeah the printer is set to be shared.

Anyone who wants to use shared disks and printers belonging to a
Windows 2000 machine has to have a user account on that machine.

Create a user account on the Windows 2000 machine that has the same
user name and password that you use to log onto each of the Windows XP
laptops.
