We are having the exact same problem that you have. By using the credential manager
at the DOS prompt, we have been able to login with the printer password; however
once the logon session is over, the dos string must be input again (net use \\servername\printername
/savecred--it will ask you if you want to logon as guest, just press enter and then
put in the password).
Have you ever found a permanent solution to your problem? We would be very interested
in a solution.
