| | Vista-XP Shared Printer I have an hp PSC 750 connected to an XP machine. I am trying to print via wireless connection from my Vista machine. I have installed the printer on Vista, I have it selected as the default printer and it's status is Ready but when I print to it nothing happens, no error message or anything. This setup worked previously XP-XP, I replaced the remote XP machine with a new Vista machine. Any help is appreciated. |
