I am having a similar issue. I have a windows vista home premium
laptop hooked up wirelessly to a Sony Vaio Desktop running XP Home. I
was getting an error before because it said that their wasn't enough
resources on the server or something like that. I increased the
IRPStackSize in the registry, and moved the paging file to another
drive because the C Drive was getting full. This allowed me to access
the shared drives and printer on the xp machine from the vista
machine. I was able to install the printer, but am unable to print to
it from the Vista machine. The printer is an HP Deskjet 960c. I tried
test pages from both machines. It worked from the XP machine, but not
Vista. Any suggestions?
