Check the permissions for the printer - it not just have to be shared out,
but it should have the proper permissions for you to connect to it.

Hi Gay,

To add to Yuriy's suggestion, here's some information about printer
permissions that might help:

- If you run into any issues which changing the printer permissions, see
Why can't I change the printer properties?

I also found this post which describes a way to add printer drivers to your
Vista PC. It seemed to work for the same situation that you describe. Hope
this helps:
