Vista - Network Printing Problem

**rdburke** · 02-01-2008

Hi, first post on this site. I was able to load Vista SP1 RC Refresh 2 without a problem. I was in hopes that it would help me with the issue of trying to print to a networked printer on a shared XP machine from my Vista laptop where I have the SP1 loaded but that was a crock. Still getting error 0x0000000d when trying to connect to the printer after install. I am about to go back to XP and dump this OS. I just can't see how MS can justify not fixing these BIG problems that have been around for a majority of the users since the OS was released. Anybody got a pocket sized printer they will sell me cheap?

Hey, having a similar networking problem getting my XP Laptop to print via the network to my Vista desktop(X86 Home Premium)? Have you heard anything about how to correct this? ? ?

Nope and it seems that most other Vista users have not either.
I was hoping to find some help here myself.

Well thanks anyways. I guess the only real solution will be to upgrade all computers to the same OS and then the compatability issues will go away. Hmmm, do ya think that was what they were hoping? ? ?
