Vista - Printer Sharing XP to Vista

Hello,

I have an XP Home Edition desktop with two printers connected to it via USB.
I am trying to share the printers to a newer Vista laptop. I have
successfully shared folders from both computers to the other. I can add a
printer from the Vista laptop on the XP desktop. But, when I try to add a
printer from the XP desktop to the Vista laptop (which is what I really need
to do), it does not work. It can see the printers, but when I try to add
them, it displays the message "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access
is denied." I get the same message for all of the printers.

Can anyone suggest any possible remedies?

Thanks,
Joe

I downloaded and installed the Vista printer driver locally on my laptop,
with the port set to the \\computername\printername, and this worked! Thanks
for your help!
