sharing printer attched to x64 Vista machine with x86 XP machine
When I browse for a printer on the network I can see the workgroup, I can
see the PC with the printer, but I don't see the printer show up under the PC in the Add Printer Wizard dialog. This was easy for me back when there were two machines running XP. I have installed the x86 printer driver on the Vista machine. Would this be easier if I upgraded the Vista machine to Windows 7? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4998 (20100404) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

sharing printer attched to x64 Vista machine with x86 XP machine
Hi,
Open the Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel on the x64 machine. Ensure that printer sharing is turned on, this will allow it to show through the firewall. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Mister Scary" wrote in message ...

You have to manually key the path to the printer on the Vista Machine (ex. - \\HOMEPC\Printer2) You must know the exact name assigned to the printer by the Vista machine for it to be found by the network.

When I try this I get a Windows dialog asking for a username and password to access the x64 machine. I haven't set a username and password on the x64 machine. Are you sure this method works with Vista Home Premium? It seams like a server functionality. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5002 (20100405) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
