Cannot Print to XP Printer from Vista but I can share files
I am at my wits end!!
I cannot print from my 4 day old Laptop loaded with Vista Home Premium to the printer attached to my XP SP2 Machine. I could print from my previous XP SP2 laptop without problems. On both machines, all firewalls are off, all virus programs are off, all printers are shared, all files are shared, both computers are in the same workgroup, network discovery on, KB922120 is installed on the XP machine, TCP/IPv4 WINS NetBios is enabled over TCP/IP, network is private etc....... What is interesting is that I successfully mapped drives on both PC's and can fully share files in both directions between both computers. So for now I am printing Vista files that I can see from my XP. BUT, I can not browse (in explorer) the XP Computer network from the Vista machine (Permission error, contact administrator - Myself?) I have also tried to enter \\computername\printername\ which gives me (Error 0x0000000D) It looks like I am not alone in the issues in printing from Vista to XP but I haven't seen anyone who has had my problem while being able to actaully see files. Anyone out there know the fix before I return this PC to BestBuy and get the one with XP media Centre Edition for $100 less?

Cannot Print to XP Printer from Vista but I can share files
Rob:
No one has responded but it appears that unless you have a brand new printer that is Vista certified, you cannot network print to a printer on a XP Home or XP Pro network. THIS SUCKS! MS$ should be ashamed of putting out Vista and not allowing it to network print to a XP networked printer. -- Lee "Rob" wrote: I am at my wits end!!

Thanks Lee,
That's kinda what I was thinking, which is brutal. Are you 100% sure of that? If that is the case, I at the very least feel better knowing that I am not the idiot who can't figure it out. I will assume that MS will EVENTUALLY put out a patch. This isn't acceptable, the OS should be backwards compatible. If you surf the MS site for solutions, most of what you find is "upgrade XP to Vista", planned obsolesence..... We should place bets on how long it will take MS to fix it...

One more thing, that reminds me of all the problems that I encountered when I
upgraded my OS to XP and nothing worked!! I guess the plan at MS is put the product to the market and let the consumers be the BETA testers.

Cannot Print to XP Printer from Vista but I can share files
I have the same problem. Vista on the laptop connecting to the wireless
network printer attached to an XP desktop. I spent a good hour with Canon tech support. Unfortunately, he was not able to help. At least I can see my other networked XP computers on my Vista laptop so I can always move files that need to be printed 'till MS comes up with a fix. If I had known about this issue, I would not have upgraded.

Cannot Print to XP Printer from Vista but I can share files
My bet is there are going to be a LOT of ****ed of people that have spent the
money to upgrade...thinking that they could use just one new vista computer on a home network. I wonder if we could get our money back and send this crap back to Microsoft? I really think it sucks that it is not backwards compatible....just with printers! A Windows 98 networked printer could be printed to from a Windows XP computer! And this is suppose to be an improvement! -- Lee "Bruce" wrote: I have the same problem. Vista on the laptop connecting to the wireless network printer attached to an XP desktop.

I tried it both ways and it made no difference.
I like the new sound effect when I get the critical error....not!
