If you're trying to do it all through active directory, not having the machines on the domain may be a problem.
Why don't the XP machines join the domain? Eh. That aside, if they really are network printers, you can give them static IP addresses, and then create TCP/IP printer ports on the XP machines, using the IPs for the printers. That'll let you print to them without having to log onto the domain and everything. I usually just print directly to the printer. You loose the nifty "auto-installing" printer driver stuff that MS provides, but sometimes that's a small price to pay to get up and rolling quickly. Eh. Force be with you, esse. :] On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 3:29 PM, Matthew Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently set up network printers on two win xp home edition machines on a > 2003 domain network.
