The current network has 2 winxp machines that are setup
under a common workgroup name, one of the winxp machines
has 2 printers shared, which can be found by the second
winxp machine.
Here is the tricky part, laptops connect to this network
wirelessly, they obtain ip addresses but are not able to
see the workgroup to add printers. These laptops are winxp
and win2000 machines that the users login to on a domain,
the domain being their office domain. My question is, is
there a way to get these laptops that are logged into their
company's domain to see the shared printers?
I have also tested to get the laptops to login just to the
local machine so where it says "log on to:" I would select
COMPUTERNAME(this machine) and that works just fine I can
see the printers. Seeing as the people that goto this
network will not all have the luxury of knowing the
password for them to get onto the local machine, is there a
way to get the printers visible to their computers when
they are logged into the domain of their computers?
