I was wondering if there is a way to set up XP Pro so that when I boot it up, it's network printing ability works like in Server 2003 where all you have to do is get it to the login screen. I hate having to login every time to print.

I doubt it, it's an element of the system that the necessary drivers and applications and launched until you actually log in.

Are you meaning you are wanting to use the printer connected to that computer, from another computer on the net? If you are, the best thing to do will be to get a print server, then you don't need any PC's on to print.
