I am wondering if you all could have resolved your printing problems.
I am running some tests and ran into some problems.
I have vista home, with an HP F4100 connected locally to it, via a usb port.
I shared the printer, but my XP (professional) desk top cannot see my shared
printer, any body knows what I should do?
I could not even see the shared printer, so there is no issue with device
drivers yet.
Some body mentioned XP home, I do not think XP home can see a network
printer, but I may be wrong, let me know if it could.
Thanks.
