Printer access on home network.

[Guest]

I have set up a home network with my work machine (Win2000) and my home machine (XP). I share a printer on the network and it is attached to the parallel port on my work machine. When I access the printer for the first time from any XP user account, I need to provide my work station user name and password to access the win2k work machine

Q: Is there anyway to avoid the usernam/password request? Can I avoid having to provide login credentials to the machine which is acting as the print server

Thanks

Ed
