Re: Printer cncted to Vista 64-bit, can't print from XP puter
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think that's quite what I need.
Your response sounds as though my printer is hooked to the XP system.
My printer is hooked to my Vista 64-bit.
The XP computer cannot print to the printer. If I use the
//computername/printername format in the XP printer set up, it doesn't work.
If, however, I log-in to the Vista computer FROM the XP system, in anyway shape or form prior to attempting to print, THEN it will print.
On the Vista system, the password protection for sharing is OFF. I've turned the system off and then back on to ensure that setting took hold. It still expect the XP computer to be pass-word linked prior to printing.
(I am fairly knowledgeable with computers, my friends think I'm a techie: I don't think I'm that knowledgeable, but I "get" more than most people... and I've been doing web sites for 12 years, starting by writing code: I'm not computer-dumb. This has me beating my head on a wall, though.)
