My employer’s NT server has all 5 users sharing the 1 printer. My personal laptop needs to maintain its current settings that allow me to join my school’s server. So without adding an account (and/or deleting my existing school account), I want to be able to just plug in the USB cable that lets me surf the internet and be able to print on the office printer. Any ideas?
