Default network printing with vista

I have two printers running via a DLink print server.
1. I changed the firewall settings. I'm using MS One Care so I turned on
printer/file sharing. It said it was password protected but a password never
came up when I tried to print? Is something not turned off/on correctly?
2. I confirmed the machines are in the same workgroup.
3. turned on print sharing - password protected.
4. added the printers as tcp/ip port entries
5. both said they added successfully
6. both begin to print but then I get an error message.
7. Right now, I'm thinking let's reformat to XP and dump vista. This is
taking way too much time.
Thanks,
