Can't print from LapTop
::I have a printer connected via USB on my desktop computer running vista Ultimate 32bit and I have a Laptop running Home Premium 32bit it sees the printer cause its there on the printer's folder but when I try to test a print page from the laptop it says its being sent to the printer but nothing prints out. I know it works cause it worked when my desktop had XP PROFESSIONAL installed which was like 3 weeks ago. My desktop prints fine. I just need the laptop to print.:: ::By the way Im sharing the printer from the desktop:: -- VistaKing

In vista Network and Sharing click on "Add Network Device", and browse to the
Desktop's Printer; follow instructions. AND, you have to have that Vista compatible Printer driver installed on your laptop, as well as the desktop! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "VistaKing" wrote: ::I have a printer connected via USB on my desktop computer running vista Ultimate 32bit and I have a Laptop running Home Premium 32bit it sees the printer cause its there on the printer's folder but when I try to test a print page from the laptop it says its being sent to the printer but nothing prints out.
