Printer Sharing in Windows Vista
I have Three computers networked together all with Windows Vista. I have an
HP ALL-In-One installed on one of the machines. I have gone into sharing and shared the computer. I have installed the shared printer on all three machines. However, if I reboot one of the machines, I have to go through the process of re-adding and resharing the computer. Needless to say, it's very frustrating. Especially since the printer was installed on a Windows Xp machine, and both Vista computers had no problems finding/printing to it until we replaced the XP machine with a Vista machine. HELP. |

Printer Sharing in Windows Vista
Is you AIO printer installed as a USB or Ethernet printer? If USB you only
need printer sharing turned on with the machine to which it is connected. If it's Ethernet, you don't need sharing on with any machine. If it's USB you need to install all the HP s/w on that machine, and then you can share printing it with the other machines. They don't need all the application and utility s/w on them. If you want to scan, all the s/w needs to be installed on all the machines (that you want to scan from). If it's Ethernet, all the s/w needs to be installed on all the machines, no sharing needed on any of them. -- BobF. "Lledier" wrote in message ...
