Hello,
A desktop PC (Windows Vista) on a workgroup has a USB printer connected to it that is shared. A second PC (Windows XP) on the same workgroup successfully prints to this shared printer. Is it possible for a third PC (Windows XP) which is not on the same workgroup (it's configured on a corporate domain) to print to the shared printer on the workgroup? Thanks! |

Yes, it is possible. Are they in the same subnet? Can you ping the Vista?

The third PC connects to the Internet using a wireless connection via
the wireless router that the other 2 PCs use. |
