| | Printer Sharing? I have a home network via a wireless linksys router. I have my printers connected to my desktop, which is a WinXP Pro machine. I have printer sharing enabled and have no problems printing from my other WinXP Pro PCs. I recently got a new laptop that has Windows Vista Home Premium on it. I am able to see the shared printers when I path to the PC with the printers connected to it, but everytime I attempt to connect to the printer I get an error that says: "Windows cannont connect to the printer. Access is denied." Any ideas? Thanks |
