Problems with a shared printer
I've got 2 Vista laptops. Both on Home Premium. One of them is sharing
a usb Lexmark 8300 printer. The other one can see the shared resources and connect to that printer but it can't print. No error messages whatsoever. After printing a test page I can see number 1 next to the printer status but when I double click the printer the print job is not there. Both the computers are in the same workgroup. Both have Printer Sharing enabled in Network and Sharing Center. On the computer that's sharing the printer the Everyone group was given full access. All paper set to A4 on both of them. Any ideas? yaro

Problems with a shared printer
I wouldn't expect to have Printer Sharing turned on on a computer not
sharing any printers to do any harm. I connected to that printer by going to \\computer_name\ then found the printer and connected to it. I did that a couple of times before on other Vista computers but in this case it just won't work. yaro
