HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same issue. Windows Vista Ultimate ina workgroup
environment and a Windows Media Center XP machine. XP machine has the
shared printer. Works great for other XPmachine on network. I am
logged into my Vista machine with same account as other XP machine. I
am still unable to connect to the XP's printer. I am gettin a access
denied message. Did we find a resolution to the Vista vs XP printing
issue? I have searched the web until my eyes are ready to pop out and
thank fully I found this thread. Can someone please help!
