Printer sharing XP and Vista
Hello,
I have 3 computers, one with Vista Ultimate and 2 with XP. My question is if I have a printer connected to one of the XP machines can I share this printer with the Vista machine? Right now the printer is connected to othe Vista machine and they are all connected to a router but I have not started file sharing or anything like that. Thanks in advance

Printer sharing XP and Vista
So, there's no way to connect without becoming a LAN expert? The security
settings seem like overkill and I thought, with experience in adding computers for years to an XP network, that it could be done easily with a Vista laptop.
