Hello,

I've been trying to set up a printer share on our peer to peer network where
only certain computers are able to use a particular printer. After attempting
to set the printer permissions to accomplish this, I am still unable to
locate the other users on the network in order to set the individual
permissions. Under the Select Users or Groups dialog box, under Locations,
all it will let me see is my own computer. I am unable to browse anywhere
else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Create user accounts on your computer and define permissions for them.
Those permissions will apply to the corresponding user accounts (same
user name and password) on other computers. For details:
