| Guest | Cannot print to a shared USB printer of a XP machine on the networ XP to XP is fine. Vista to XP does not work. Who tested this software? It even makes no sense, the printer wizard makes you do local printer in order to even connect to a shared printer, and then it doesn't work. Your security features for this is way too hard to allow legitimate printing on shared printers, and requires me to have a windows Vista password on MY account to even use printers on ANOTHER PC? How does this make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remake Vista plz k thx bie ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

| Guest | Re: Cannot print to a shared USB printer of a XP machine on the networ For what it's worth: I have an XP and Vista connected through a belkin router. What I do is find the Printer Icon on the XP PC, drag it onto the Vista PC. I am then asked to install the driver and it works ok. Richard "Mark L.
