I have a laptop and a desktop in a home network, both using Vista. A printer
has a USB connection to the desktop and sharing with the laptop allowed. I can print fine from the laptop but cannot access the printer from the desktop. What could be the problem and how can it be fixed? Thanks for your help . -- JVC |

So the printer connects to the desktop, but the desktop can't print. I would
check the printer driver first. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "JVC" fal4del.com wrote in message ...
