Heenan: The only account on the three machines that gets prompted is Administrator on Hal9001. And that one, as I say, doesn't have a password. They all belong to the same workgroup. I'll check you links to see if they can enlighten me. But, as I say, the XP Pro machine doesn't have any problem printing to the network printer without connecting to the printer's computer first.
