win2K printer sharing question?

I just set up 4 networked PC's all running Win2K Prof. One PC has a local laser and a local inkjet printer that all machines share. Right now I have to logon to that PC (username and password) before I can access the printers. Is there a way where the 3 machines can just automatically use the printers without having to enter username/password info after every reboot? Hopefully this is a simple question and the answer is something that I just overlooked.
 
The only way your going to be able to share those printers w/ out logging into the computer whenever you want to print, is to go purchase a print server, it should only cost u around $100 and that will enable u to use the printers from anywhere on the network whenever you whant.
 
On the machine with the printers locally installed (that's acting as your print server), create accounts matching the accounts used to log into the other 3 computers (Control Panel>Users and Passwords). Make sure these new accounts have permission to use the printers and you should be good to go.
