Right ive got a printer connected to my server and the server is sharing it. Is there a way that i could get a computer that is not on the domain to print. Currently when i try and print then it says "Printer Cannot Be Contacted" i have to go into My Network Places then click on the Server then it asks for a user and password for the computer. So how can i stop this

Have you tried installing it as a network printer on the client?

 

Yes thats what i do! Also on XP Home theres no remember my name and password on this computer checkbox on the login box when connecting to computers

 

Hmmm XP home, network functionality is limited hence you can't join the domain.

Have you got a user account on your domain controller with the same username and password as the one on the XP home box? If not try doing that.

It should work, as I have shared printers to non domain members like this.

 

Ill Try that and tell you how it goes

 

Thanks Everyone Seems To Work Now!

 

What was the problem then? Feedback, feedback, feedback!

 

Nothing i just did what bluerinse said:

So the problem was there wasnt a user account with the same password on my DC as on the Workstation.
