| Vista Home Premium 64-bit with SP1 | Print sharing from Vista 64 using an HP printer shared on XP32 HI all, Simple question I hope there is an easy answer to.. I have a new Vista 64 and through my network I want to use the HP printer that is connect and shared from my XP 32 machine. I can't connect to the printer by "adding a printer" from the Vista machine? Drivers? Do you know what I need and where to get the drivers? Thanks Have a great Christmas Holiday! John |

| Vista Home Premium 64-bit with SP1 | Re: Print sharing from Vista 64 using an HP printer shared on XP32 I got mine to work like this: control panel printers.. add a printer... **(if you can see your networked printer in "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer" do this add a local printer... turn on use existing port radio button... ...find your networed printer in the pull-down list then you find your printer by supplier then model and this sets up your driver loads when you get to send a test print, and you print the test page AND you get one, you are in business! cheers, john |
