Hi all
This appears to be an old chestnut, and despite searching everywhere, I have not been able to resolve the problem.
My PC:
Vista Ultimate 32bit SP 1
HP LaserJet 1020 connected via USB
Network Discovery: On
File Sharing: On
Public Folder Sharing: On (read only)
Printer Sharing: On
Password Protected Sharing: Off
Media Sharing: Off
Workgroup Name: WORKGROUP
My Wife's Laptop
XP Home Edition SP 3
Workgroup Name: WORKGROUP
Both machines have both accounts with matching passwords.
Network browsing is not a problem - folders and files are accessible. However, network printing is proving to be a nightmare!
I have tried to add the printer on the XP laptop as a networked printer and as a local printer using a local port of \\vistacomputer\hp laserjet 1020, but both result in the same problem: the job "seems" to print and can be seen in both computers' printer queues, but nothing outputs. It is only when I stop and restart the spooler on the Vista computer that the job actually prints!
The print$ share can be seen from both computers, so I don't think it's security related.
Does anybody have any other ideas what I can check?
Regards
DG
