RDC Vista laptop to XP desktop. Can't get desktop to print at lap
Hello...
I am at work here with a Brother printer which formerly printed documents from home. Becuase of recent HD failure on former work XP laptop, I now have a work Vista laptop I have an XP desktop at home. Here at work, I cannot print any items from home. Home XP destop - has live one care firewall settings- If the files and printers on this pc are shared: *share with all computers, even those on internet If enabled, allow RDC to this computer from *All computers, including the internet ---------------------------------------- XP destop has firewall settings- Exceptions Remote desktop policy "allowed" ---------------------------------------- Brother HL2030 Printer properties- Sharing tab: Share this printer ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Work Vista laptop - has live one care firewall settings- If the files and printers on this pc are shared: *share with all computers, even those on internet If enabled, allow RDC to this computer from *All computers, including the internet ---------------------------------------- Vista laptop has firewall settings- OFF ---------------------------------------- Brother HL2030 Printer properties- Sharing tab: Share this printer After reading some posts here on the forum, it seemed like I needed the complete driver from Brother. I have gone onto Brother printer site and download Full Driver & Software Package for HL2030/Vista system Download complete/installed/runs and prints. I also d/l the vista driver for the xp destop and tried to run it, says it wont install because of wrong operating software. I have plowed through every way I can think of to get my Xp file from home to print here. When looking at my home desktop thru remote; all i see is the Printer Queue waiting to print. I don't know what to do next, seems like a marriage of Vista/XP working together....ain't workin. Now do I go buy another printer and if so will this same thing happen again? hope someone can see something im missing with warm greetings Joey
