Both my host computer and routed computer are using Windows Vista Home Premium.
I've been having many problems trying to share my printer with my new, routed computer on a wireless network connection. I believe I have correctly set up printer sharing and my default printer on both computers. Problem 1: Today, I find that I'm not able to print from my host computer. When I check "Printer Status," I'm told that the status can't be displayed with the port currenlly being used. What should I do to correct this? Problem 2: (Related to Printer Sharing) I'm going through the Microsoft document, "File and Printer Sharing in Windows Vista," again. I found a section, Common Questions with Windows Vista File and Printer Sharing." I copied and pasted it here. This is related to Windows Firewall: "For network discovery of other computers running Windows Vista, you must allow the following incoming Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic: UDP 3702 TCP 5357 TCP 5358" OK, is this important for my being able to share my printer? If it is, how do I "allow" "TCP" and "UDP"? The Microsoft document doesn't tell me. Any help would of course be much appreciated. |
