As long as the permissions on the printer share are set to allow everyone to print, it should work fine. You'll have to connect to the printers directly, since obviously sharing them through AD wouldn't work for users not in the domain.

so in that case it does not matter what the permissions are set to becuase they wont be connecting to the print server...

I run small Windows networks, and I never authenticate to access a printer, by printing directly to the IP address. &nbsp;(Create network port based on IP or hostname.)

Hello,<br />
<br />
We are working in a multi domain environment as we work to consolidate to a single domain. &nbsp;Our print server is in DomainA. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there any way to configure a shared printer in DomainA for anonymous or unauthenticated access to users in DomainB?<br />
<br />
We really dont want to worry about having to setup trusts at this point.<br />
