How I fixed Access Denied issue when printing to shared printer on XP HOME

11-21-2006

I've been dealing with this since RC1. But I found a suggestion here:
http://help.lockergnome.com/vista/

What you do is install the driver and then open it by right clicking and
selecting properties. Then go to ports and add a new Local Port. In the
name field enter the address of the shared printer like this
\\computer\printer
Hit ok and then try it out. It worked for me.
