shared printer issues
For a start, there is NO vista home professional!!!!!
And, how do you have the Printer set up? Are both computers Networked properly? Do you use a Router? -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Carmel" wrote: 2 computers with vista home professional.

We have seen some cases like this one. 1. try to install latest printer
driver. 2. Install the printer as local printer first and then remap it as network printer. The following links may help too.

shared printer issues
Did you try adding the printer using Administrator privs? Just go to the Control Panel Printers Add Printer Icon (right-click) Run As Administrator Add Printer. This process gave me access to the network printer. Unfortunately, MS Word will not work at all if the network printer is setup as the default and not added by the administrator. -- umbrellasys
