local network setup:

3 XP desktop machines
1 Vista laptop
1 HP laserjet shared via network to all computers

All computers are in same work group

I have completed the "add printer" wizard several times. Each time i try and add the printer on the vista machine is gives me an access denied error on machine. I tried downloading the drivers locally and installing the printer, but this did not work. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

wheelspinner99,

Are you trying adding printer with Administrative privilege ?
Give it a try with Administrator account.

I'm unsure what the user account status of the account was. I'll check that.

Any other suggestions.

This worked perfectly. It's silly that it has to be installed as a local printer even though it's on the network.
