Seems odd though I have exactly the same setup but both are dual cpu's and
have no trouble. Other than verifying you are administrator via control
panel, I don't know what else to say. This Vista print subsystem is really
quirky and the messages so indescriptive you don't know what to do. You
might call your pc maker I think they are your first level of support and it
should be free if you just bought your pcs within a year, but they usually
refer you to the printer maker as having a driver issue, but it may prove
fruitful talking to both anyway.

I get the message after finding the printer and selecting it. And yes, I
can
connect to the printer directly, and I downloaded the updated drivers for
vista.
I guess that the main problem would be if i can figure out why i get the
"access denied" message, knowing that i'm runnig as adminstrator on both
computers.

I'm
thinking something may have gotten corrupted maybe a bad driver can you
re-download the Vista drivers and try again? Or else do you have any
restore points you could go back to?

How far in the process do you get when you get the "can not connect" is

That's my main problem... When I try to add the printer as a network
printer,
it says "can not connect to printer, not enough memory....". My main
pc
has a
quad CPU running with 4GB of ram and my laptop is running duo CPU with
2GB of
ram.

Next time please don't multipost. You've already got a thread
going

Jack in the networking newsgroup. Since this is a printer

you
could
have added a crosspost to this group in your reply to Jack.

Did you install the Vista drivers for this printer on the
laptop?
Are
you
getting the "not enough memory" error on the Desktop or the
laptop?

More details, please.

Just saw the following posted by Sam, do you have uac off?

"Hi all. Well I finally found the answer. I found another person on the
net who had the same problem and someone posted and gave the answer.
That person had uac off like me and the answer given was. You cannot
install a network shared printer with uac off. So I turned it back on
and it worked. Hope this helps someone.
