Hi,
Vista sees the printer on an XP on the network, but when I try to print;
keep getting this error in Vista:
Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied.
Huh?
It sees it; it access's shared folders on xp; but won't let me
print-access is denied; and I can access the shared folder on xp.
What gives here?

Jeff

Go to the XP box Printer Properties and make sure that the printer
itself has sharing enabled.

I finally got my HP inkjet to connect. I figured it had something to do with
the drivers not being installed on the Vista machine. However, it was a
combination of things. When I went to look a bit deeper into the port
settings on my XP machine, the Vista machine's port had the MS office
document image writer set as the default machine (I don't know how that
happened. I hate that program and used it by accident once). I trudged back
to the Vista laptop, and deleted the MS image writer. The XP machine listed
the Vista's port as empty of a printer. Made certain both LPT and Vista
ports were checked, which allowed "printer pooling" to be checked. I then
went back and reinstalled the HP inkjet printer through the "add printer"
settings. The drivers FINALLY installed and a test page printed. Confused
yet? Anyway, I worked on this for a week, and it paid off...I think.

Jeff, I replied to another topic, but here it is again in case you missed
it:

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!

Got it,
Thx,

Jeff
it's actually easy-once ya figure it out!!!
