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???

If you have a domain, you should not be limited to 10 connections. Dose she
printer come with Ethernet or you connect it to the server?

Yes - there's no 10-connection limit unless the print server is running
WinXP Pro. Additionally, note that SBS questions should be posted in
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs. I find the OP's post a bit unclear and
suspect more details may be required.

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.
