You're welcome, Chuck. I'm afraid he has given up. Rich mentions a post
that solved his problem, but doesn't make a reference. You mention
"Kerry's
procedure" in a reply to him. I've done a search, but can't find it. Can
you provide either a reference or the "procedure?"

The thread is "Printer Sharing between xp and Vista" by Rich, dated 5/1. I
can't provide a link, because I am using a text based newsreader. I think that
you can find it though.

This is what I found:

Kerry's suggestion worked for me. I have a Canon MP130 on a XP machine that
had been shared successfully with other XP machines. After upgrading to Vista
on one PC, I got the "Access Denied" message when trying to use the MP130 on
Vista. File sharing worked fine between the two PCs. I did the following:

1. Downloaded Vista drivers for MP130 from Canon
2. Installed the MP130 locally on the Vista PC (which for Canon means having
to plug in the USB cable - ugh).
3. Re-connected MP130 to XP PC
4. On the Vista PC, opened the properties page for the MP130.
5. Select Port tab
6. Choose "Add a port"
7. Choose "Local port" (yes, not obvious, but don't use TCP/IP)
8. Type in the share name: \\xp-pc-name\printer-name
9. Make sure the new port is selected (checked)

Make sure the XP machine has a user account with the same username and
password as you are using on Vista. Another possible problem is drivers. If
Vista doesn't have built in drivers for the printer it tries to load the
drivers from the XP computer. This probably won't work and shows up as
different errors depending on the printer. Sometimes you can get it to work
by installing a local printer that is compatible then changing the port in
the printer properties to the printer share (i.e.
\\computername\printename). What printers are we talking about?
