Here are a couple of things that might work. Neither one is desirable from
a pure security standpoint, but in your case, that may not be an issue. You
could try enabling the guest account in your active directory. Then, make
sure that the printer allows guest access. Another possibility would be to
add user accounts for kids in the domain with the same username and password
they use on the local machine. With this, they should have access to domain
resources.
