Windows 2000 Shared Printers Always "Not Ready"
I've got two types of printers in my home. One that is connected to a
network sharing device and the rest that are connected in various ways to a Windows 2000 machine. Once I put the new Vista machine into the same workgroup as the others, the printers being shared by the Win2k machine were found by the Add Printer wizard. However, when I try to connect to ANY of the printers shared by the Win2k machine, Vista says it cannot connect to the printer because it is "Not Ready". I have verified that ALL of the shared printers are ready. What is going on? Does Vista not support printing to Windows 2000 shared printers? Thanks in advance. Bruce Vienna, VA

How are the printer(s) connected to the Win2K PCs... USB or LPT?
Which application(s) are you printing from? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "Bruce Scherzinger" wrote in message ...

Vista connects fine to my Win2k machine sharing an Apple laserwriter.

Windows 2000 Shared Printers Always "Not Ready"
I might recommend the performance and reliability update that updated
network printing support. Before that update, printing in Vista was painful to network printers on downlevel print servers. --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:18:15 -0700, "Alan Morris [MSFT]" wrote: Vista connects fine to my Win2k machine sharing an Apple laserwriter.
