Can not share printers since SP1 upgrade
I am running 2 Vista PC's and was sharing 2 printers on a deskktop with a
laptop computer. Since the upgrade I can share files but when I try to activate to share on the laptop I can see both printers but I get the following message when I try to connect to the printers. "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Make sure that you have typed the name correctly, and that the printer is connected to the network." Any sugestions would be appreciated. I could not find anything in any previous post that seemed to cover this issue. Thanks,

Can not share printers since SP1 upgrade
I have borrowed a PC runiing Windows XP and I can connect to the Vista
desktop with the printers attached and am able to connect to the printers without problem but still cannot connect to the printers from the Vista laptop.
