___%$# Shared printer on XP Home inaccessibel from Vista Home Premium

Hi,

I can't access a shared printer on XP Home NL from a Vista Home Premium
NL laptop. It seems to be a rights problem.

I can make a shared printer on the Vista machine. When printing to it. I
briefly see the print job in the printer window (queue) on the XP machine.

Username and passwaord are equal. Workgroup is equal. I can use a share
on the XP home machine from Vista allthough it's very slow accessing
I tried:
- guest account enabled on both machines.
- \system32\spool all rightts for everyone
- reinstalled the XP home

Are you sure you have the Vista version printer drivers installed on the
Vista laptop?
