RE: Shared printer connection problem

That is exactly what I have done. I went to the HP site and tried to
download the HP print driver for my printer that would be compatible for the
Vista laptop to share this printer, and it could not install it. I
downloaded the printer driver onto the laptop just fine so I could use the
printer via hardwire but have been unsuccessful sharing this printer
wirelessly. It is the Vista Ultimate OS.
