Printer Sharing: Vista asks for password even if password-protected sharing is off

Here's the issue:

3 systems: XP, Vista 64 Home Premium, Win7x64.

The system with Vista has the printer installed. Password-protected sharing is DISABLED (and nothing but the printer is shared to begin with), but I'm still being asked for a login and password when connecting to the printer.

This means I have to enter \\SYSTEM4, enter the login and a blank password, and then doubleclick on the printer before it works with the other systems. "Remember password" does not work when the password is blank. After this is entered, everything works 100% fine, until next reboot. It's still tedious, and something I'd like to get rid of.

Is there a way I can change it so I'm not prompted for a password at all?
 
Up. I really need to get this problem resolved.
