Question on How to share a printer on a Windows 2000 computer.

We have Windows 2000 Professional and even some very old Win 98 installed on
many of our computers on our small network where I work.

Question: Is there a way to share a printer on one of the Win2K workstation
in the workgroup without having to setup
each user with password and security to be able to just print to that shared
printer?

Is there a simple way to just let everyone (Anyone) print to a shared
printer on a computer, without needing
to be setup as a user with password first.

I must be missing something, I can get a printer to be shared fine, but it
requires me to put every single user in the
workgroup in the security tab.

The old Windows 98 was easy just click "Share" and the printer and it let
anyone print to that printer.

Must be an easier way to just share the printer on a WIn2K computer with no
user rights required ??

Any help much apperciated.
