| | Sharing printer with Vista and XP computers My printer is connected to my computer with Vista. How do I set up my laptop with XP so that I can print? I have networked before I purchased a PV with Vista. Please keep it simple...I did not understand previous posts that discuss bits. I understand that I probably have to download a driver for one or both of the computers. Lorraine |

| | Re: Sharing printer with Vista and XP computers I have a similar problem to Lorraine's. I have turned on print sharing. I can see the Vista computer on my laptop. But I cannot see the printer. What am I missing?
