I can't share out any of my printers on one of my Vista computers.
I go into Network and Sharing Center, open Printer sharing, turn on printer sharing and then press Apply, but Printer sharing stays off. This only happens on one of my three computers and it happens to be the one usually connected to the network wirelessly. Any help? thanks Michael |

I have exactly the same problem - 3 computers with Vista and one which cannot share any of the network printers. I would be delighted if anybody could suggest a solution other than buying a stand alone printer for that machine! A wired connection by the way.

So it does the same for you? ie. You press Apply but printer sharing stays

Is your network private? It needs to be private to have sharing
enabled... --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Sat, 27 Oct 2007 00:08:00 +1000, "Michael Klim" wrote: So it does the same for you? ie.

Check the Network Status part of that article.. You must be on a
private network, not public (which is set by default). --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Sat, 27 Oct 2007 00:06:45 +1000, "Michael Klim" wrote: Ok, I''ve read it but cant find where the problem is .
