| | Vista Home Basic cannot connect to a shared XP HP 1000 printer I have a Windows XP Pro (sp-2) computer, with all the updates installed. I have an HP 1000 printer shared connected to the XP computer. When I try to "add a printer" on the Vista computer, the "Add Printer" sees the printer, when I select the printer, Vista gives me the following error: Cannot connect to printer: access denied. I'm running AVG Internet Security v7.5 on both computers, configured for "computers in domain". I have deactivated the AVG firewall on both computers. Nothing seems to work. I do not have a problem when I connect to another Vista home premium computer, it sees the printer and connects to it's shared printer. Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
