Vista Forums - View Single Post - Access is denied message when trying to access a remote printer

03-08-2007

I have the same problem. A new vista machine on our xp network can not access
remote printers that are working fine on the network with other xp machines.
I get the access denied message. Fire wall is off, sharing is on.
Frustrating for a new machine.
