I have a problem sharing a printer. I have a desktop running XP and a laptop with Vista, the printer is connected to the XP computer. I'm not able to find the printer on my Vista running computer, tells me that can't find a printer. I am the administrator trying to set up the work group. Please help me.

Are both PC's using the same workgroup name?

Did you actually set up the printer as a shared printer?

the computers have the same workgroup name, same network and the printer is set for sharing, so I don't know what else to do. Install Vista on the desktop?

Try browsing your network places and see if you can see any files/folders/printers of other computers. If you receive an error there: then you have the same problem as I'm having and I don't know how to solve it.
