Printer Help
Hi,
2 PC's running windows 2000 Both stand alone (not on LAN) One printer, linked to PC A directly via USB. PC B needs to print to this printer also. PC A and PC B are connected via a x over cable.
PC B can browse to PC A and when the printer is shared PC B can add the printer and print ok.
As soon as PC B log's off and logs back on, PC B has lost connection with the printer on PC A and it has to be manually added to the machine each time.
How can this be resolved? Also, don't want to "share" the printer as such as this means PC A (connected directly to printer must be turned on, but if this has to be done that is ok)

na, solved this ages ago, nothing to do with it mate. AS it is 2K and on a workgroup not a domain you must have the same logon password on both machines for it to print properly.
