Douglas,
I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. What error number/message are you seeing? For printer sharing in Vista (for Vista-connected printers), you have two options: 1) create the exact same username/password accounts on both machines (XP and Vista), including a non-blank password; OR 2) turn OFF password protected sharing in Vista. In your case, however, you imply that Vista is unable to print to an XP-connected printer. Can you see the printer in either the Network Map or the Network Explorer? Can XP print to it? Have you updated the driver in the printer for Vista compatibility? "Douglas" wrote: The printer will not connect to vista computer. I need help. The printer is connected to XP computer.
