Hi
we have all our workstations using NT with a number of
network printers attached to them. One of the guys has a
laptop with XP Home on it and althoough we can connet him
to the network and share files etc., we cannot see any of
the network printers. Can anyone advse me on how we can
share the printers so that the laptop can see them.

Cheers
Laurie

Are the NT (NT4 or Win2k?) machines attached to network connected printers
or are the NT machines sharing a printer on the network?

Are the NT machines on a domain?
