Is there a problem with Vista printing?

I've heard that there might be some serious issues with printing to XP
connected printers. Is that true?

My own case, I have an wifi-connected XP Pro workstation connected with an
HP G85 printer connected to it. The workstation uses a network cable to
connect to the wireless router. I have been printing to it just fine through
an XP laptop. Now, with the new Vista laptop, I can connect to the shared
printer just fine but the test print fails. I know that the job is getting
there ok because I can pause the printer and see the job show up in the print
queue. But then it is deleted from the print queue without being printed. I
checked to see if there is a special driver that is needed and they say there
is not.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
