printer access denied after reboot

[Robert Blackwell]

I have a printer shared on another computer. Allof the computers on the
network print to this one by default. I setup a new computer though, and I'm
having a problem. After you reboot and you try to print, it says you must
first install a printer. If you go into the printers the shared printer
shows access denied. I can delete it and "reinstall" it again and it works.
It always changes back after reboot though.

btw, when I install the printer I navigate to the shared computer on the
network and "login" using one of the computer logins, either gary and no pw
or main - password. Either way it does the same thing after rebooting and
gives the access denied message.

The hosting computer is XP Pro and the one with the problem is Home.

Please help.

Well, I don't know why it started really, but the computer that was sharing
the computer was a "power user". I just turned off advanced sharing or
whatever it's called, and the made the user into a regular admin. That fixed
the problem.

Thank you, I've been able to solve the problem. I found this articl
http://tinyurl.com/235gh on how to enable simple file sharing

It's nice to know that although it is 'file' sharing it affect
printers too. And that although you tell winxp to remember username an
password for that share it actually doesn't
