Printer sharing between XP and Vista computers on same network
I installed a new Vistas computer on an old LAN where the other two computers
are Windows XP. I can access the internet fine from all of the computers, but when I try to share a printer hooked up to the Vistas computer with the other computers, they can't print to it. What is the problem?

There are numerous possible problems, some possibly the fault of Microsoft, others the fault of the printer vendor.

Thanks. I'll try getting printer drivers that accept both systems.

Earlier drivers may be buggy, so getting the most current drivers are a good idea. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
