Printer Sharing with Disabled Anonymous Login

[JMWarren]

Hey Guys,

In an effort to secure my computer I've disabled anonymous logins. As a result printer sharing isn't functional. If I manually login in and connect the printer I have access. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

Enable the Guest account. Then have others print through it.

Isn't this gonna leave me with another security hole?

Map a network drive on the target computer and save the password, or create a username and password for a user that has no local logon rights on every computer.... guessing this is XP home though, so you might not be able to remove the local logon rights, but you can still make them a limited user.

Excuse my ignorance when it comes to MS Netoworking, Where do I remove local logon rights? Is this going to be more secure than just leaving the guest account in place (i could always rename it)?

It's XP Pro BTW.

Thanks for your help. I'll give it a try at home. Seems I had two different problems with similar soltions.
