I have 4 Computers on network running Win Vista Business

One of the computer(lets say COMP1) has got printer shared via USB.I did the
sharing by Right Clicking the printer and selected Share.

Initally when i connected the printer to the other 3 computers i did
\\computername\printer share name,it asked me for the credentials for
connecting to COMP1. i gave the local admin credentials for COMP1 and it
worked.
Ever since then every morning after the other 3 computers reboot inorder to
print on the shared printer, i have to go to RUN -- Type the command
\\computername\shared printer name and then it prints. I dont even have to
Double click on the printer for connecting to it. the Only thing that has to
be done is
just give the computers the credentials for logging on to COMP1 and then
close the dialog box.It prints.

Please shed some light on this.

hi Liju
you are getting this problem beacuse you have accessing a shared
pinter which is on anonther computer. so everytime you restart the
computer what happens is that your use account credintionals are been
cleared hence nedding you to reconnect to the printer. what you can do
for this is go to control Panel, go to user accounts on the left hand
side there will be a option saying manager network passwords click that,
say add and add the user account that you are connecting to the printer
and save it. this should solve your problem.

Hope this helps ..

Cheers !!
