i've got a windows workgroup with 3 Win98 pc's and one Win2000Pro PC. a DeskJet printer is attached to the win2000Pro box. i created users with 'users' privilege on the win2000Pro box for the win98 users to be able to print. this all worked fine.
just removed one win98 box and replaced it with a new PC and new install of XPhome. when i try and setup the printer it doesn't fine the printer on the Win2000Pro box.
if i manually 'connect' to the Win2000Pro box, the printer will show up and i can add the printer. but after a reboot on the XPhome box, the printer shows as not connected.
what am i not doing correctly to make the XPhome box remember, or reconnect automatically to the printer?
i have no password on the users of the win2000Pro box and no password on the XPhome box.
i noticed in my messing around, i think using one of the wizards, that it said it was going to connect as //workgroup/owner ?? shouldn't it connect as //workgroup/username ? is my problem that it is using the wrong connect name?
thanks in advance..
eric thanks,
