How to share printers between Vista and XP
To share printers across a network between Vista x64 and any other operating
system do the following. Vista ------ Click Start Control Panel Hardware and Sound Printers Click on Add a printer Select Add a local printer Create a new port Local Port Click on Next Enter the port name for the network printer (i.e. \\Computer Name\Printer Name) Select the printer from the list Continue until the printer is installed. Other operating systems ---------------------------- Find the Add printer wizard and do exactly the same method as for Vista. With any luck your printer will already have printer drivers included with Vista and obtaining drivers for other operating systems if they are missing should not be a problem.
