I have a PC desktop running under Windows XP and a local printer
connected Canon iP4300. To the PC in connected a 'wireless'
(http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/#) D-LINK DWA-140. This connects to a
'router' (http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/#) Netgear DG834N (this is in
another room).
My doughter got her first 'notebook'
(http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/#) Pachard Bell with wireless
connection. Both conputers runs in internet without problems. Now we
need to print by the notebook without connecting to the printer that is
installed to the XP computer. I'd try many times to make to notebook
(Vista) can see the printer, but without results. I must say that,
following a Microsoft tutorial (Thecnet Library) and using another PC
with Vista, I was able to share the printer. So teh problem is that the
Notebook with Vista does'nt see the printer shared in Xp. On both the
computers I have "CASA_SANDRO" workgroop, on the notebook with Vista I
have a private network, Network discovery on, File sharing on, public
folder sharing on (read only), Printer sharing off (no printer is
connecte to the notebook USB), Password protected sharing off, media
sharing off.
On the computer with Windows XP, to wich the printer is connected, I'd
right click on the printer icon and shared with name.
The notebook does'nt find the PC with XP and the printer.
Wath is missing or mistake ?
Thank you to anybody can help me.

You may try to install the printer locally and re-map it as network printer.
Or this search result may help.

'chicagotech.net :: View topic - Solved: Vista print Error 0x00000866'
(http://www.chicagotech.net/netforums...pic.php?t=1263)

1. I have connected the printer to the Notebook USB (Vista)
2. The printer has been installed.

These are the next steps:

-"From a DOS prompt (Type command in the "start search" section of the
start menu) type this:
net use LPT# \\server\printer /persistent:yes
for me this was
net use LPT1 \\hppav\BROTHER_1240 / persistent:yes
substituting for #, server, and printer as appropriate for your
network."-

*On witch computer have I to type this ?
What have I to substitute for # in my case ? Shall I write server ?
Is "printer" my printer name on XP computer ? (In control panel the
name under the icon is "Canon iP4300"). On both computer the workgroop
is CASA_SANDRO. In start, my computer, network the window is enpty in
the notebook.

In the desktop (Win XP) under network, microsoft network, I have
"Casa_sandro". Under Casa_sandro I have Athlon64 (desktop WinXP) and
Pc-Roberta (my daughter notebook).

In the desktp (XP) The complete computer name is Athlon64 (control
panel, Sustem, computer name). In the notebook is PC-Roberta.

In the Network and Sharing Center of the notebook (Vista) I have
Private network, Network discovery On, File sharing On, Publc folder
sharing On, printer sharing On, Password Off, Multimedia off.

I'll be so glad is somebody could tell me step by step what to do in
each computer as I am very confused. I'd try to share the C: hard disk
in the desktop, but the notebook on Vista cannot find it.

1. Most cases, LTP1 should work.
2. to find the out the server name and printer name, on the computer
connecting to the printer run this command: net share. You also use the ip
address, for example: net use LPT1 \\192.168.0.1\Casa_sandro.

Sorry no results. I must say: in Start, Coputer if I click on Network I
get 2 icons "Netgear DG834N Router" and "PC-ROBERTA" that is the
notebook itself. I do not have "CASA_SANDRO" or "Athlon64", that I can
see in network of the destop (Win XP) where the printer is shared. I
have shared a folder too, but the notebook cannot find it. The firwall
seems ok (exception on share files and priters). I have added the
printer as local printer on the notebook, but the remapping doesn't
work: Prompt as administrator, net use LPT1 \\Athlon64\CanoniP4300
/persistent:yes. The answer is: sistem error 66. Mistaken kind of
network resource. Then I only get a copy of the printer installed
locally, that doen't send to the printer. In printer propieties, ports I
find checked the LPT1 Port and the printer is "CanoniP4300(Copia 1).
Canon iP4300".

Hi to all who may help,

cheking in the Norton 360 setup, I found many items in firewall rules.
I did allow all the exceptions except the Microsoft Windows 2000 SMB
and, incedible, the notebook could find the printer. Really I did not
know that norton 360 has the firewall.

Thank you to every body.

Ciao, Alessandro.
