Perhaps I should have mentioned that the laptop runs Vista Home Premium SP2,
the XP desktop is on XP Pro SP3, and the new computer is Win7 Pro 64bit.

With much stumbling, I have been able to configure, via Control Panel,
the
printer settings on the WinXP desktop to print to the printer that is
physically connected via USB cable to the Win7 desktop. When I File/Print
and select the appropriate printer name from the dropdown list, the
printing
is fully successful.

Attempting to apply the same steps with the Vista laptop fails.

The printer was at one time installed and connected via USB to the
laptop,
and therefore an icon for it exists in Control Panel/Printers. I select
the
printer name, right click, properties, Ports, Add Port, Local Port.

When I got to this point on the WinXP computer, I had only to enter
\\XPS9000\Canon Inkjet iP6700D as the port name, and all was good. But
on
the Vista laptop, I get an Local Port error window "Access is denied"

Perhaps having three different operating systems adds complexity to
networking a printer. But someone can help me overcome it, I hope.

BTW, when I go to Control Panel/Printers on the XP computer, the port
name
in properties is exactly as I specified above. A curious thing is that
when
I go to the Sharing tab, the spelling for the Share name is "CanoniP"


Try the fix mentioned he
