Printer Sharing
Not Vista, but both sides... XP and Windows 7. This is the only "Sharing"
place found. On the 7 machine I have a printer that is shared, but it can not be seen by the XP machine. On the XP machine I do a Add Printer, the 7 machine name is found but there are no printers there to select. Both machines are in the same workgroup. Any thoughts, or suggestion for a more appropriate newsgroup? Earl |

In the Windows 7, run "net share" and in the XP run "net view
\\'windows7IPaddresse'".
