Vista can't access XP printers
[cross posted to hardware.devices]
I have a friend with a home network. He has XP MCE 2005 on 2 machines and Vista (Ultimate on one, Premium on another) on 2 machines. Same workgroup Vista can see and share folders on XP XP can see and share folders on Vista Simple sharing off on XP Printer sharing Security allows full control to Everyone on XP Printers are USB Canon on both XP machines. Vista can see XP printers on both, but gets "access denied" message. Any help will be appreciated. -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________ |

Vista can't access XP printers
I learned several things about networking Vista and XP PC's together but this
post did not solve my printer sharing problem. Another post in this forum entered on 11 February 2007 did solve my problem.

Printer networking is an extremely complex subject, and solutions needed vary by printer make and model, by operating system, and by network connection. Kerry's procedure contains the practical instructions needed. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Glad you got your problem solved.

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?" -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________ "Chuck" wrote in message ... clip Thanks, Walter.
