Printing problem is related to printer driver, most printers have seperate
drivers for XP and Vista, thus nworking with only one. you should check with
the manufacturer of the printer and get a driver for XP compatible with
Vista; thisn isn Microsoft advice, and most printers are creating because of
that, Microsoftm doesn't care if you cannot print, they want to impose their
owne programs.
