Cari,
I am not sharing between different operating systems. I have vista Home
Premium 64 bit on laptop and Vista home premium 32 bit on desktop. What I am
hoping to do with no luck so far is install both a 32bit and 64 bit driver on
my laptop so I can print off of my desktop through my home network.
