Connection problems for shared printer
Hi,
First of all, the system configuration: 1 desktop wired with OS: WXP Home Edition 1 laptop wireless with OS: Vista Home Premium 1 printer Lexmark X1170 linked via USB to the desktop Scope: Use the printer with my laptop The computers are in a network and can see each other, both by ping and name. I have installed the Vista driver for the printer on the laptop. When I try to print the test page from the laptop, after 30 sec. I get a message saying: There are connection problems to your printer. Any idea how to solve this? Thank you Alex
