Shared Printer via Vista
I created a local port and added the printer, which is attached via
USB, from my desktop (XP) to my laptop (Vista) using a WiFi network with only two computers. The problem is that whenever I set the shared printer as the default on my laptop, it doesn't stay the default. Vista seems to prefer Windows XPS Document Writer. How can I get it to stay the system default on my laptop? TIA Dan

Have you installed the Printer's vista compatible driver in your laptop?

Mick Murphy formulated on Friday :

My model of printer didn't come up on the list of printers, so I used the CD -- obviously created pre-Vista. I'll check the Samsung website.
