    Network Printing after Upgrade to VISTA

    My home PC had XP Media (SP2) and I just upgraded to VISTA. Prior to the
    upgrade i was able to print from my work laptop thru wireless connection.
    Now after the upgrade to VISTA I can see the printer connected to my home pc
    but get access denied. Using a D-Link DI524 router.

    Do you have the same username in both computers? Or what's the system error if using net use \\homepcipaddress?

    to print evenon the printer gui it shows the printer in question as access

    Do you receive the system error if using net view \\remoteipaddress? If not, does the command display all sharing?

    RE: Network Printing after Upgrade to VISTA

    Jim, I am not an expert but am having similar problems and learned a few
    things. First, here is my situation. I have a desktop with XP and in
    January I bought a laptop with XP. I set up a wireless network and printed
    OK to my hp officejet 6210 all in one after I installed the officejet driver
    on my laptop. Then I upgraded the laptop to Vista and can no longer print.
    Here is what I learned. The Vista upgrade required that I install a driver
    for the officejet that is compatable with Vista. I did that so I now can plug
    the officejet into the laptop and print OK but the XP driver and the Vista
    driver for this particular printer will not network and there is no solution
    except to buy another printer.

    RE: Network Printing after Upgrade to VISTA

    I'm having the same problem as Konocti with a Lexmark X83 hooked up to my
    desktop running XP while my new laptop runs Vista. My solution is to e-mail
    whatever I want to prinbt to myself and print from the desktop or transfer to
    a USB drive and print from that on the desktop.

    My god, the only solution is to either connect my laptop to the printer or
    start emailing myself what I want to print? I even installed the stupid Vista
    driver for my HP C400 series all in one and still it won't let me print
    wirelessly. Perhaps someone should have thought about backwards compatibility
    a bit before releasing this memory/battery hogging nonsense.
