Limiting one networked PC to network printer only in Win2K

I think that I've previously done it before but I managed to change settings and my kids Win2K PC can access all of my 2 other networked PCs. I don't want that SO I want it setup so that the only thing his PC can do (see) is have access to my network printer that's physically connected to my main PC.

I'm fairly sure that there's a way to do that in computer management but I'm not presently seeing that so far. Anyone?

All your systems are 2K right?

You should have the Guest account disabled otherwise ANYONE can use your shares.

Then you make your kid a user account on the other two computers. Make him a user NOT an administrator. In the Shares tab for each folder you have shared, share it only to Administrators.

Share the printer to everyone.

Yep
