Printer sharing wont stay ony

I can't share out any of my printers on one of my Vista computers.

I go into Network and Sharing Center, open Printer sharing, turn on printer
sharing and then press Apply, but Printer sharing stays off.

This only happens on one of my three computers and it happens to be the one
usually connected to the network wirelessly.

Any help?


thanks
Michael

Re: Printer sharing wont stay ony

Have you tried enabling it by turning on Sharing from the Printer shell?
Click start > type Printers > right click your Printer > click Properties >
select Sharing (tab) > select 'Share this printer" radio box > edit share
name > click OK.
