The main printer in out office has its own IP address. Everyone uses it
just fine.

We got an HP Inkjet for a little fun with color. I hung it on a server in
our domain (as LPT1). For the longest time, it would only print for
administrators. I added every group in the book, just to see what would
happen-- nothing. I finally added "Authenticated Users" and Voila! users in
the domain could use the printer.

However, we have a few stand-alone workstations that we don't want in the
domain. They don't seem to be able to use the printer. We also get the
message that jobs sent to the printer from machines like this are in the
print queue when they're actually not.

Any way to connect these workstations.
