Comment: I have 2 PC's networked. A Laptop running Vista and a desktop running Xp Home. I have a printer connected to the Xp machine. Everytime I try to add the networked (shared) printer to the laptop. I get a "Access Denied" message. The laptop is connecting wireless. Any thoughts, why I can't connect to the printer??
Thanks
Rick

Reply: (edit)I have been successfully connected my vista PC to a shared printer on XP. Thats was connected straight up, no changed settings at all! P.S.: You have to be an administrator, to connect the printer.

Reply: (edit)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.
