There's also a bug in Windows... if you use a username with the same username and pw as a user that's in the domain, active directory will think you are that user and give you the same rights to access objects as that user. (i.e. you have a username on the domain called "jsmith" with a password of "1234". If you create a user on the computer that's not joined to the domain called jsmith with a password of 1234 you can access the printer. Of course, when you're forced to change the password on the domain, you'll have to change the password on your workstation.

How can I find an IP address for a printer? When it asks for Printer Name or IP address and what about port name?
Print a config page from your printer. Port name can be anything.
ping the computer name of the computer that is sharing the printer. the path for your printer is \\XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\printers

One of the printers we have is HP laserjet 1300. I just shared this one. I went to properties - ports - config port. and received an error
" error occured while configuring port. This operation is not supported" So the IP is not assigned, right?
" error occured while configuring port. This operation is not supported" So the IP is not assigned, right?
Is that printer directly on the network (with its own ethernet port) or is it connected to some computer via usb cable?
