Sharing printer with none domain computers

[Sanm2009]

I need to share a printer (on local port - not IP) installed on a Server 2008 R2. But users need to authenticate to access the resource, I need none domain computers to access the printer. The printer is shared with "Every one"

 

Does anyone know how to go about doing it. I have come across the option of enabling the guest account on the server, would that cause much of a security risk?

Well if they browse to the server and they are not on the domain they should be prompted to put in their credentials for the domain.

 

Also why have you got a printer connected to a server?

[Sanm2009]

Yeah, they do get the prompt to login. But I don't want this to happen in the case of this printer.

 

Would adding anonymous users to the printer share have the desired effect?

 

Well the printer is a virtual queue for papercut. I just want it's share to be available from outside the domain.

The way I've done it in the past is create a printer account, set login hours to never and created a bat file at startup to map and authenticate the printer.

install print services for unix and share with lpd, add lpr print client to windows or use existing on macs/linux etc to connect to the printer. You can't stop printing due to no auth, however I found username logging worked correctly with print manage plus when I used it with macs.

Is it for use by school staff?

 

Could you not enable web printing or use the LPD method above?
