printer sharing
I have home network with 3 XP computers, using XP wizard I setup workgroup,
shared folders and shared printers. If I add new XP workstation, printers are immediately added. Lately I installed Vista RC1 on the notebook, after initial fight with wireless connection, I was finally able to setup Vista, enabled Public folder sharing. I can access folders and files on XP desktop, but when trying to access the printer, I get access denied. Using the same logon information on both XP and Vista. Any suggestions? |

I am not in a Vista machine right now. Go to Networking Center and enable printer sharing and disable the password requirement. It is very easy to figure out what to enable or not there. That should fix it. Carlos "Monika" wrote: I have home network with 3 XP computers, using XP wizard I setup workgroup, shared folders and shared printers.

Carlos,
The printer is shared on Windows XP desktop. Vista is installed on a laptop. Since I use wireless connection on a laptop and move around, I need to be able to use a printer connected to XP desktop.

Sorry for the confusion. I am running out of ideas. One last shot: Did you install drivers for the shared printer in Vista? Carlos "Monika" wrote: Carlos, The printer is shared on Windows XP desktop.

Yes, I connected printer directly to Vista laptop, drivers installed. I even
ran network wizard executable that Windows XP creates for sharing network. Vista rebooted, printer was shared immediately and installed on Windows XP right away. I connected printer back to Windows XP and still the same problem. I can access shares on Windows XP, but not the printer. This doesn't make sense at all, from securit point of view I would rather see printers being available to all users before files are. Thanks for help. I work in IT field too, so if I find a solution I will post it. "Carlos" wrote: Monika: Sorry for the confusion. I am running out of ideas.

printer sharing
Hello.
I ran into this problem using OneCare Beta. I could not get any network connectivity, uninstalled one Care and put the trend pc-cillin beta on and things worked fine. also, if you are unaware you need to set up permissions for your network computers in Vista, like xp. I am not sure if the wizard works since I did it manually.

printer sharing
Problem: An XP PC on the network has a printer attached that other computers
running XP or linux are able to access. However, Vista PCs that attempt to connect to this printer get an 'access denied' error, even though file sharing otherwise works. If file sharing is otherwise working, and Vista has native printer drivers for the printer on the network XP PC with the printer you wish to access, CAREFULLY follow these steps: Add the printer driver on the Vista PC, using control panel/printers/add printer/local printer (important: local, not network printer). Choose the printer driver from Vista's table of selectable printer drivers. Choose LPT1 as the local port even though this will ultimately be a networked printer. After the driver is installed, what you do next is select (right click) the newly installed printer, choose properties, ports, add port. Then manually add a new Local Port with: \\computer_name\shared_printer_name as the port name. In my case, the port name for the printer on my XP Home PC is \\danscomputer\hpdeskje Make sure you select this newly created port as the active port for the printer. Print some pages to test and you are done! |
