Fow Win 7 Pro MS recommend this solution :

You must change the security local policy in the PC where the printer is shared.

Do this:

Win + R, type "secpol.msc", enter
Search for "Local politices", and than "Security Options", and search for "network security autentication lan manager", change this parameter to
“Send LM & NTLM …” and restart PC.

Now on the others PCs you can do :
Net use lpt5: \\PCName\Printer_share_name /user:username + space + Password.

I hope help..
