I have 3 comptuers set up on my network. Computer one has the printer installed. What I want to be able to do is, install the printer on the other two computers, and have it ready to print whenever the other computers are turned on.
Right now, I have to go into my network places, log into the first computer, and reinstall the printer.

Hi Pierre
On the first computer, you have to enable printer sharing. In Printers applet, right click the printer and select Sharing, and check the box to Share...type in a name for the shared printer and click OK.
On the second and third computers, go to install new printer, and choose to install a network printer.
Bonne chance Krystyna

Also, make sure that users are setup for the other two computers to access the Windows 2000 computer

That is what I am having a problem with. How do I set them up to log into computer one without having to go to my network places and select that computer, everytime I log in?
This there a script or something else that I am missing to have them log on automatically?
