I have shared a printer on an XP workstation and set Everyone to allow
printing. I can connect an XP workstation to the printer just fine, but I
cannot connect a Win2K workstation. What am I missing?

TIA,

Scott Thompson

How many PCs are already connecting to the XP Workstation? Remember no more
than 5 if it's XP Home and 10 if it's XP Pro.

The UserName and Password of the Windows 2000 PC should be added as a User
Account on the XP PC if you are using XP Pro and not using Simple File
Sharing.
