Network printer help needed

[funknuts]

I have a network and the one computer has a printer hooked up to it. now 4 other computers can print to them. the 5th computer i set up and it prints to it fine but when i shut it off and turn it back on i get the message "cannot start print job" then the yellow toolbar comes up and says "access denied can't connect to the printer" the print server has WIN2000 installed and the computer trying to print has WINXP and it is a HP printer. thanks

I have a network and a computer has the printer hooked up to it. 4 computers can print to it fine. the 5th computer i type in the path for the printer and it asks for the username and pass of the computer to connect to the printer and i type it in and check remember password and it connects and install the drivers for the printer which is an HP printer. i can print fine. after I log of or shutdown the computer I come back on and it says cannot start the print job and the little yellow toolbar says "access Denied unable to connect". If i uninstall the printer restart my computer and connect to the printer the same as the steps above it works again until i shut it off. PLEASE HELP it is very importnat. thanks to anyone who repsonds. the print server computer has win 2000 installed and the one trying to connect has WIN XP.

When you come back on when? Before or after you log in? You log in under an admin account? When do you get the error message, right when you log in or after you try to print something? Can you reconnect to the printer and print okay?

i log back in under a computer administrator not THE administrator account cant log in under administrator account because it wont take my password... that might be why i cant install the printer correctly becasue i cant get in as the admin. you know of anyway around that if you dont rememebr the admin password?

If you can't remember the administrator password, you have a problem. At least you have an account with administrative access, that's your only saving grace right now, but there are a few things that require you to log in as THE administrator.

You need to add accounts on the print server computer that correspond with the client local logins. They can be regular user accounts if all you need to do is print. You need an administrative access account on the server to do this.

now i added all the usernames from the client PC to the print server PC and the passwords and that still didnt work same thing can print until i restart or log out of the account then it cant connect to the print server
