Share LAN printer to guest visitors with no domain accounts?

We would like vistors to be able to connect their personal XP laptops to the
network and be able to print to one designated network printer shared on our
2003 server domain without any need of configuring a TCPIP printer port or
manually installing printer drivers.
We plan have them access the printer by going to an internal URL with
Internet Explorer.

We have set up IPP through IIS printing and tested it with a non domain log
in account.

We can get the http://servername/printers page to load and show the printer,
but when we get to the final step to click "Connect" to add the printer, a
pop up box "Configure Internet Port" appears asking for additional
credentials.

The printer is shared with the Everyone group print access and the website
has anonymous access.


I looked in the security event log on the Sharepoint/IIS/Print server and see
login attemp failures that are showing under the logged on users name. It
does not seem to be using the "anonymous" account.

I don't know what more rights are needed to allow "Everyone" to print.
When a domain user logs in they do not get the error.
