Won't print after a while

[Guest]

This is the situation.

I'am at the head office and we are on Win2000 serveur domain with Win Xp
Pro station.

All the stores have WinXP pro in a workgroup and is sharing a parallel
printer.

We want to print on these printers. When we install the store printer at the
office station, i have to put a user and password to connect to the store,
then install, then it's printing.

After a while, we want to re-print at the same printer, i have the message
"Unable to connect".

How can we be connected permanently or can we bypass that problem ?

As you are working in a workgroup this is most likely to be caused because of
permmision settings on the Printer Host Machine. I have come across this
before. How I solved it was to create a local user account on the PC that has
the printer locally attached. (Once you have done this you need to re-install
the printer on the client computer and connect using the local account you
created.

If you are not to well up on permissions and user accounts someone with a
basic understanding should be able to do this for you.

I hope this helps

I found a solution with a net use command that fix the problem.

ex. net use \\pcname\printername /user:administrator password
/persistent:yes

It's now in the startup and it's working fine.

Thank's
