Problems printing to a network Vista home premium computer


I have a Vista Home Premium 64 bit laptop with an inkjet printer
attached to it that is shared on a network. I have the printer and the
laptop shared. However, I am unable to print from Windows XP machines
to the printer on the Vista laptop. I seem to have done everything
correctly but apparently not! I can't seem to find the network printer
on the printer setup wizard on the XP machines, though it finds the
vista computer itself. Any ideas out there??

Thanks!

Re: Problems printing to a network Vista home premium computer

Have you added the 32 bit drivers to 64 bit PC?

Have you enabled File and Printer Sharing in the Network and Sharing Center?
Have you shared the printer?
