sharing printers on XP & Vista

I've tried some of the fixes on th boards but to no avail. I can see my XP
computers and shared printers. I've made all files and printers shared. I
can add the printer on my XP to the Vista but it won't print. When I try to
add the printer on the Vista from the XP I get a credentials conflict. I
have removed password requirements from the Vista but when I try to add the
printer on the vista it ask for a password, but won't accept any.

Any ideas?

Thanks for getting back with me Cari. I have permission set to "allow" for
everyone and everything. But can't access the printer on the vista from the
xp and get an error when I try to print on the xp printer from the vista.
