I have a network with 2 Win XP machines, one Vista machine, and a wired
print server with a lan cable from the print server attached to the DSL
router. Both XP machines see the print server and the printer and print
perfectly. On the vista machine, the print server software is showing
the networked printer, but when you send a print request, it just sits
there in the print que and never prints. Also, Vista never installed
the printer drivers. The printer doesn't show up in any of the printer
screens and when I try to add a printer manually, I get the message that
I do not have permission to add a printer - even though I am signed in
as administrator. During the install of the print server on the XP
machines XP immediately saw the printer and looked for and installed the
driver for the printer - not with Vista. I'm sure the error message is
a permission problem, but I can't figure out why it won't print and why
it doesn't look for the drivers when it can "see" the printer and
identifies it through the print server software. Please, any help would
be great. Thanks.
