Printing! Nothing simple ...

Nothing is simple with Vista, least of all printing via WLAN to an Epson
Stylus Photo R200 connected by USB to a desktop PC running Windows 2000
SP4! I connected the USB to my Vista laptop to get the drivers
installed, then changed the port to the USB on the desktop, tried to
print, but it would not do it.

If anyone knows what I am going thru, and has the solution, please write
to this group as I will be watching it carefully ...

Thanks.

Re: Printing! Nothing simple ...

Once it's set up on the Vista PC and works, take it back to the Win2K PC,
and reconnect it... (making sure it still works there) return to the Vista
PC, and change the address to the TCP/IP address of the Win2K PC, adding the
shared name of the printer.
