Sharing Printers from another computer

Hi all.

I have a computer running Windows Vista Home Premimum. I have an HP
All in One Printer shared on the vista computer. I would like a user
who is running a laptop with Windows 2000 Professional to be able to
send documents to my HP Printer.

However I install the printer and type in the user name and password
to connect to the Vista Machine and I can then send something to
print. Then when I shutdown the windows 2000 machine and restart it
and go into printers, it says Access Denied, Unable to connect. I am
assuming its because it is not saving the username and password. How
can I solve this problem.

Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated Thank you

I forgot to mention this is running on a workgroup not on a domain

install the same user/password combo onto the vista PC.
