Thanks for the tip, but this isn't a domain environment. There is NO security property available for this printer. This is the only machine I'm tolerating a M$ OS on, so I don't really need the hassle of a domain. The printer in question has its own ethernet port, and runs its own printserver, and security is intended to be open to any system within my network.
