Default Connecting to a printer

Hello,
When tring to connect to a printer on my network I get "Windows cannot
connect to the printer. There is not enough memory to complete this
operation. Please close some programs and try again." The printer is on an XP
machine, I'm running Vista Home Premium on a HP dv6000 notebook with 2 gig of
memory, and the printer is a Samsung CLP-510. I've made sure no programs are
running, even tried right after a reboot same thing.

Default Connecting to a printer

How are you trying to connect the printer?
I went through Vista'a Network and Sharing, and clicked on "Add Network
Device", then browsed to XP's printer, and Vista did the rest.

I go to network and add a printer. Vista finds the printer on my network, I
then alternate click on the printer and click connect. Vista connects to the
printer and I get the out of memory message about 10 seconds later.

Did you first install Vista drivers on the laptop? Get them from
Samsung's website.

This is a documented problem. I ran into this a number of months ago and,
frankly, don't remember the fix. I believe it is on Microsoft's website,
however -- do a search there.
