RE: Printer Sharing between xp and Vista

Gay Lynne,

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. A few folks in other posts are finding
that by adjusting their firewalls, the problem is solved. If you're running
OneCare, do the following (thanks, Tom!):

Windows Live OneCare ->
Change OneCare Settinge ->
Firewall connection tool ->
Tick relevant options (Network discovery, file and print settings,
etc) ->
OK ->
Advanced Settings ->
Change file sharing from 'Do not share files and printers" ->
OK ->
OK

Please try that and let us know!
