Printer sharing on Windows 2000 Professional

[doest]

I confiqured a local printer connected to a Windows 2000 machine. I gave permission to everyone, and all the users who were going to have access to it. I am running a LAN within a work group and NOT a domain.
I can see the shared printer from Neighborhood network from the machine I installed it on but when I go to the other Windows 2000 machine and try to access the printer I get an error "The server is not configured for transactions".
I am not running a server just sharing a printer. When I reboot the machine in trouble I can see two DOS screens activate during boot up but I can not determine what they invoke.
Any ideas??

The pain about win2000 peer to peer is the user accounts. I'm guessing that this machine is probably the peer "server"... you need to create a user account on the machine for everybody on the network. This means if you have 8 computers, you need to create 8 users on the one box.

An easy way around this is to have everyone use the same username/password on logon and make sure every computer is in the same workgroup. Not so secure but easier and faster to accomplish.

I do realize it is a peer to peer network. I do have only one group name. In addition I do have common (the same) user name logins on both machines. I do still have the same problem.
