1. OPEN the printer folder in W2000 (select control panel.. printers..)

Select your printer to be shared. Right click on that and a window will open.

Click on the sharing
click on the Shard as .. and fill up a proper name.. (this will be the printer name as seen in other computers for this printer)
Now click on the security tab and see that EVERY ONE can use it. If not add EVERY ONE to use the printer.
Now you are done.
Hope this helps.

If this is a home computer I suggest just enabling the GUEST account. You do this by.
Right clik on my computer and go to manage. Next go to the Local Users and Groups. Then cclick on the Users folder. Double click on the GUEST account and UNSELECT Disable. This wil give the other users permission to use what ever you share without having to create accounts for them. BUT...
This is if you are not worried about security since it allows anyone to access the resources. James Collins
