I tried that -- I don't have a password on my limited acct and it 
wouldn't let me use that to access it...  Seems odd that I'd have to 
create a whole new acct [with a pwd] just to allow access to the printer 
[but I'll try it].

Where are those set?

Ugh -- my desktop runs XP pro and I make a fair bit of use of being able 
to tweak/tune ACLs, so I don't think I want to turn SFS back on.  BUT: 
the same problem [with needing a password] happens from my wife's laptop, 
also [and she's got XP/Pro on it].
