Hi there guys. Need your help! I have a PC desktop with XP SP2 and a lappie with Vista Ultimate, all part of my domestic WiFi LAN. I also have a printer - HP Deskjet 930C Series - installed with the desktop PC. The LAN is OK, and the lappie can "see" the desktop allright, although Vista doesn't let it to be seen so easily! Problem started when I tried to install the printer via network. I had XP installed in an older laptop and everything was OK. All I had to do was to find the printer, double click it, and when asked if I wanted to install it, XP did it piece of cake. Now with Vista in the lappie, after being asked if I want to install it, I receive a message "the printing monitor is not recognized' and it does not install!!! I suppose it's because the drivers in the desktop are for XP and Vista doesn't like them. I have also installed the printer physically in the notebook, but was not successful.

Does anybody have a clue on how I should do it? Has any of you had a similar problem? How can I make my printer part of the whole WLAN, specially in Vista? Give me a hand, please, please!!

If I can't get it to work, I'll have to go back to the good ol' XP through clean install, and I have just finished configuring Vista to work smoothly!
