Hi,

I will set up a Windows server2003 as a printserver, and several other
companies that has their office in the same building will use those printers
that are installed on this new server.
We share a internet connection so everybody can access a router, but then we
have firewalls to each companies own little network.

My problem is that how to set up the server so that each client can install
the printer and use that printer, when we dont have a domain or similar -
each company has their own little network.
Anyone who has an idea?? We run Windows XP, 2k and 98 on the clients.

Best regards
Daniel
