Hey everybody,

I have a shared printer on my home networking consisting of 2 computers running Windows XP SP3.

I was wondering, is there any way for the shared printer/computer to ask for a password before printing?

A long way around would be to create a virtual linux machine an authenticate with that. XP without a domain would unlikey support a password.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
