Well... I know it is possible to print from a Vista Home Premium to XP Home
because I can do it. However, I cannot figure out why you get a spool error. |

Stjb,
do you have your printer installed on the XP Home pc? Have any problems with viewing shared files (documents)? I have opened up several ports on the firwall execptions list, but still am having issues. Any help you can give me would be great! "Stjb." wrote: Well...

Of course it is possible.
But you have to have added the XP's printer as a network printer through the vista machine, and downloaded from the printers manufacturers website a Vista compatible printer driver to install on the vista computer.
