| | Printer in home network I have a laptop and a desktop in a home network, both using Vista. A printer has a USB connection to the desktop and sharing with the laptop allowed. I can print fine from the laptop but cannot access the printer from the desktop. What could be the problem and how can it be fixed? Thanks for your help . -- JVC |
