I've installed the drivers for a HP laserjet 4V printer and it works and everything. I shared it and when I try to get the clients to install a "network printer" it asks for a password that I have no idea where it could be. I have access to the server but I just need to know how to aquire these passwords so I can get the clients using the printer

Thanks,

well I think it's asking your administrator password. Are you login as an administrator in Win 2k server?

Yes try your admin password, or creat a new username for the printer, make sure you set the right permissions, and you have to setup special protocals if you are trying to connect to a win2k machine using win9x.

You have to setup accounts for your clients for them to use the printer... either setup one account for each PC on your network (except your win2k machine of course), or simply enable guest accounts and have them login as guests...

Cool thanks guys...I heard that I have to install the win2k drivers on the server as well as the win9x drivers. How do I do this?

Thanks for the help
