I have a multi workgroup 60 station network all running XP Pro. I have a Lexmark C752 connected a workstation and have the printer connected to the network through the workstation.

I just replaced the workstation connected to the printer and it previously had Win98. Under that OS I was able to see which computer was printing to the machine. For some reason under XP the workstations are showing up as "Guest". I haven't changed any of the settings on any of the workstations other than replacing the machine directly connected to the printer.

I have each workstation with specific names and need them to show up on the print que on the workstation connected directly to the printer.

Any suggestions?

I tried ms.com with no luck and I can't figure out how to search for the problem on Google.

sharing is diff btw those two situations. I don't have too much experience esp in that scale, but did you check the workgroup name and make sure the printer is being shared? That's the bare basics, but u didn't mention much in your post. The workstation w/printer doesn't seem to belong in the network. Practicallynetworked.com is a good site with info btw.
