XP and Vista Printer Sharing
I've bee ntrying to share a HP printer attached to a gateway desktop with a
gateway laptop running vista attached to a cisco router. way desktop running XP home edition with a gateway laptop running Vista home premium. I've had little luck. I've installed the printer drivers on both cpus. I've set the printer to sharing on the desktop. I've looked for the printer in the network sharing center. Maybe you could give me a step-by-step?

Maybe you could give me a step-by-step? Matthew S. Armshaw Matthew, Sharing a printer is sometimes a bit more complicated than sharing a file. Each printer vendor writes their drivers differently from others, and that will affect the installation process. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/05/file-sharing-and-printer-sharing-are.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/0...aring-are.html When you're trying to access a printer shared by another computer, from a computer running Vista, you may be better off creating a local port for the printer under Vista. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/06/network-printing-from-windows-vista.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/0...ows-vista.html -- 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.
