Re: Vista X64 can't print to shared Vista X86

Cari,

Thanks for the reply! The laserjet is connected to and shared on a Vista 32
bit computer. The Vista 64 computer can see the printer, but cannot access
it at all. Printer drivers definitely function, as a direct USB connection
works. I also tried re-connecting the printer via USB (instead of LPT1) to
the 32 bit computer, then re-sharing the printer - same result.

It comes up in the network printer setup wizard, but then gives an error
when it attempts to install the printer.

The main Vista computer uses Vista ultimate 32 bit, and the new computer is
Vista personal 64 bit. All file sharing functions perfectly, and the other
printer (a Canon) works fine also. I am suspecting more and more that
something is funny with the HP 64 bit drivers that don't like running over a
network.

Again, another Vista 32 bit computer connects to the printer fine, and a XP
computer also connects to it fine.

So, I wonder if anyone out there have an HP laserjet set up as a shared
printer using Vista 64 bit?
