Hi there,
we have a network with Win2kServer and AD. We have quite a big number of
occasional visitors and guests.
Our network is configured so they can hook up their laptop and get basic
TCP/IP services (Interenet,e-mail).
Most of them have laptops with WinXPPro.

What would be the best soluiton for letting them print without compromising
security ?
In particular we do not want them to join the domain or/and use any network
account.

Thank you,
Marek.

You'd need a printer with a JetDirect or other network device that's
available via TCP/IP port address rather than as a shared device.
