using printer
i want to use my printer (currently connected to my xp computer) with my
vista laptop. BUT when I try to open my xp pc on the network page on vista it asks for a user name and password. I have tried all possible options but none work - also the xp pc has the domain name same as the vista laptop. SO the question is....what di i do....can I bypass the password etc...or can i find it somewhere....or is there an easier way of using the printer.
