Re: Vista notebook cannot print on XP Shared printer
Finally I solve the problem by uninstall the Norton Internet Security. After
I uninstall the Norton, I can see the network printer in the Network Map.
Now I installed Trend Internet Security in my Vista Notebook and seems do not
have any problem.
