how to pass username/password to a network printer
Working at a client site and their printers require username/pwd. I've
been given one. I can ping the printers, so went ahead and added using "add new TCP/IP port" in add printer wizard. Specified the correct driver also. Problem is that nowhere during the install process did it allow me to specify username/pwd combo. When I print a test page, job goes off into nowhere land. Appears to have succeeded, but nothing comes out of the printer. How can I pass a username/pwd to the printer? I suspect it's using my default XP username/pwd, which obviously won't work. thanks. c |

Good idea but XP complains when I try to add the new user with this: "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed." This can't be the first time a guest needed to use an office printer. How do others accomplish this? thanks. chris "c" wrote in message ps.com...
