Shared Vista Printer = Access Denied on XP Home

Hi, sorry if this has been discussed although everything I find is
shared XP printer to Vista PC. I have a Vista Home Premium PC
sharing a Canon MP160 Printer. The two XP Home PC's that I'm trying
to install the printer on via the network keep giving Access Denied
errors. Vista has file and print sharing enabled along with the
password protected sharing turned off. I have tried with guest
account turned on in vista and also adding and confirming the
guest/everyone account has print permission on the shared
printer...still no luck Any ideas??

Re: Shared Vista Printer = Access Denied on XP Home

If you try net view \\vistahostname from XP, can you see the shared printer?

Re: Shared Vista Printer = Access Denied on XP Home

I have a similar issue (see post "Can't access shared printer" about 8 posts
after this one). Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you, as I am
still digging into this. I don't think this is it, but I did notice some
DCOM errors in the system event log. Can you check and see if you have
something similar?

Re: Shared Vista Printer = Access Denied on XP Home

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I mean I see the DCOM errors on the XP
machine that is trying to access the printer, not the Vista machine that is
hosting the printer
