| vista ultimate x64 | Printer sharing between XP and Vista Hey guys. Was wondering if you could help me with this problem. I'm trying to use a printer through the network, but I have the XP (desktop) computer connected to the printer. I found a good tutorial (Printer sharing between XP and Vista) that unfortunately, didn't solve the problem. The Vista system still isn't detecting the printer through the network. I am using the correct drivers (vista 64 bit) and have the printer sharing enabled on the xp computer. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance |
