I have what should be a very simple problem with sharing my home printer. It is an old HP Laser Jet 1160 hooked to the printer port with a standard printer cable to my home computer.

I am running XP and I am trying to share the printer with my Ubuntu 11.04 netbook and my iPhone4 & iPad. All of the devices can “see” the printer shared on the XP machine but they all need a username and password to print. The home XP computer only has one “user” and no log-on passwords. I don’t think I ever setup a username-password for the printer. If I did I can’t find any place to change it or delete it. I can’t find anything in the printer setup on XP that mentions user name and password.

I don’t think it is a wireless network problem, all the devices can get on the network just fine. I even named the printer something different and all the devices see that name, but the username-password stops every device.

Any suggestions?

Where do I find the username-password set up for printers in XP? I have looked but I have yet to find it.
