We had the same thing done at Stevens. Every teacher's CWS is hooked up to a
shared deskjest on a student WIN 98 machine. However, I was told that IS
will no longer set up shared printers. So, don't expect tech analysts to
take the time. Unfortunately, since our tech did it before the new policy,
we were not told how to add them now that we no longer have support on
shared printers. Also, it's important to know that shared printers are a
greater security risk than networked printers. They are more vulnerable to
viruses, is my understanding.

Yes, it is possible.
We did connect the teacher workroom CWS machine to an older HP laserjet
shared printer connected to and shared from a non CWS (Win98) machine that
was in our teacher workroom. Our Tech Analyst came in and set it up for us.

Hi All,
First, thanks very much to those who shared their experiences on the new
teacher workstation (cws) rollout - both on and off list. Your information
was very helpful. Now I'd like to ask another question....
Is it possible to connect those new machines (win2000, seattleschools
domain) with shared printers on a local domain? I've asked several people
lately who thought there "just might be a way to do that", but they didn't
know the details. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about a networked
printer, like one using a jet-direct card. I'm talking about connecting to
a shared printer which is hooked up to a computer (win98) on a local domain.
I'm quite well aware this practice is being frowned on. I just want to
know, once and for all, yes or no, if it is possible - and of course, how to
do it :) Thanks in advance for an answer, one way or the other. - Mark
ps - there are plenty of other related issues to discuss here, I know.
stay tuned :)
