XP can't find printer on Vista
I've searched but have not found a solution.
I have Vista x86 installed on a desktop with a printer (Samsung ML-1210) attached and working. I am trying to configure my wife's laptop running XP Home, but when I try adding the printer from the Vista machine XP doesn't recognize ANY printer on Vista. Any ideas? Jeff

XP can't find printer on Vista
I have Vista x86 installed on a desktop with a printer (Samsung ML-1210)
attached and working. I am trying to configure my wife's laptop running XP Home, but when I try adding the printer from the Vista machine XP doesn't recognize ANY printer on Vista. Any ideas? Do you have printer sharing turned on in Vista (Control Panel / Network and Sharing Center)? Are you using OneCare (Settings / Firewall / Advanced / Sharing)?

Hi Dave,
Yes to printer Sharring and no to OneCare (as far as I know) J "Dave Nuttall" wrote: I have Vista x86 installed on a desktop with a printer (Samsung ML-1210) attached and working.

Yes to printer Sharring and no to OneCare (as far as I know) Maybe something to do with the Windows Firewall then (mine's turned off because of OneCare, so I'm not sure if it would get in the way)?

Just checked the firewall settings in Vista and they exclude file/print
sharring. Odd, eh?! Jeff "Dave Nuttall" wrote: Yes to printer Sharring and no to OneCare (as far as I know) Maybe something to do with the Windows Firewall then (mine's turned off because of OneCare, so I'm not sure if it would get in the way)?

XP can't find printer on Vista
Hi Jeff,
You say you have print sharing turned on in the Network and Sharing Center. Have you also shared the printers in the individual printer properties on VISTA? That is all I had to do and the printers automatically apeared on my XP computer. -- Paul "Jeff" wrote: Just checked the firewall settings in Vista and they exclude file/print sharring. Odd, eh?!

XP can't find printer on Vista
WOW - finally got it.
Here is what I had to do: 1. Ensured sharing of print was active (had done previously) 2. Gave my Vista account a password (Is there a way to share printers without creating a Vista account with username/passwords?) 3. Use print manager to view printer info and used "deploy with group policy" to view address of printer - \\Vista\Samsung 4. Went into XP and added printer manually - could not browse and see it (not sure if NIS had something to do with it or not). 5. When printer was added it asked for username/password and then installed. Yikes - lots of work "PaulB" wrote:
