| | Shared Network Printer - Can't Connect From Vista Machine I have a new computer that came with Vista Home Ultimate installed. I'm trying to connect over my wireless network to an Epson 1410 printer that is connected via usb to an Acer netbook that came with XP Home. I have installed the printer driver on both computers. I have set the printer to "shared" I have enabled printer sharing on the Vista machine. The network is set to "Private" on the Vista machine. Network Discovery is enabled on the Vista machine. When I run the "Add Printer" wizard, the printer is detected. When I select the printer, I get an "Access Denied" message. I have done some research and found that this is a known issue when the pc connected to the printer is running XP Home. Other than trying to connect with User Access Control turned off (which didn't work) I haven't found a solution. I had no trouble connecting to this printer from my previous computer that was running XP Pro. Any ideas? Thanks |

Is the firewall set to allow your new computer IP address? The problem lies in the Acer computer, not your Vista computer. |
