Shared printing

They are local printers on the workstations to be shared on the
network...thats what im referring to about 10 connections, they are
not ethernet attached, print server attached or connected to the
server. There are about 6 printers throughout the network locally
attached to the workstations either parallel or usb
Ah. My advice? Don't share them. Share networkable printers only.

Let me try this again, typed this all out and it kicked it out with
an error.....i have a server 2003, on a domain, 10 workstations,
with a given number sharing printers. All workstations are windows
xp pro, mix of service
pack 2, upgraded service pack 3, and built on service pack 3. On
some systems the list in directory, is not an option when
installing the printer,
but on some can still browse or run the unc name and see the
printer, 1 system, service pack 2, installed a new printer, list
in directory works great, all systems can attach, on a upgraded to
service pack 3 system, list
in directory is not an option, can not access it from any
workstation. Im also going to have to rename the systems from
specific names to generic work
functions, for ex workstation name, outside-sale, username quote.
There are only 10 workstations, so at any given system only 9
others are attaching,
so i know im not exceeding the 10 connection limit....any
suggestions???
