Connect laptop to domain printer
Hi,
My boss has a laptop which he bought. The laptop is Vista home edition. We are running small business server and our own domain. I can't connect his laptop to the domain, he doesn't like username/ passwords. Our printer is hooked up to a pc on the domain. Is there any way I can get vista to remember a username and password to use each time he wants to print (preferably not in a plain text document calling net use)? Any help would be appreciated, even if you think the answer is no you fool John
