Printer Sharing

[mcp6453]

I set up a computer with Windows 2000 to serve as a print server. Every time we
try to access the printer, we have to log into the computer (the Win2K security
is blocking access.) The printer is shared as "Everyone". What have I forgotten?
(It is not necessary to include user accounts on the sharing computer, although
it works. There is another way to share such that anyone can access the resources.)

None of the computers on my network are Vista. One XP with a shared printer is
fully accessible (Simple File Sharing is enabled) by every other computer on the
network.

You can always enable the guest account and add the guest account
permissions to that resource.

That's what I was missing. Thanks, as always, for your help!
