New wireless Vista can't access networked printer thru XP PC
Have a new laptop with Vista, trying to set up use of home networked printer
which is attached to a PC running XP. The shared printer appears on the laptop and the laptop shows up on PC as part of network. When marking "Printer Sharing" in Network and Sharing in Vista, "(passwork required)" appears next to "On". I don't think I have a password but, even so, Vista never prompts me to enter a password and when I click on the shared printer the error message is, "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied." I can't figure out what to do. Thanks - J's Mom
