Re: I have problems when printing using a shared printer

Hello:

Thank you very much for your answers.

1. Yes, my printer is shared under Vista. But I can't see it from XP and I
have shared several files in Vista but I don't see them from XP. In addition,
when I use command ping from Vista I have response from Xp but If i use ping
command in XP I haven't response from Vista.

2. Well, it was not necessary because the name of the machine is the same.
But I tried to remap again the printer and XP can't see it so it can't remap
it.
