| | Printer sharing Vista Home Premium I have two PCs installed with Vista Home Premium, I'm trying to share a Brother ALL-In-One printer. The printer is plugged into a USB port and marked as shared in the printer properties in the first PC. Both PC are on the same workgroup. When I try to access the printer from the second PC it says I don't have the correct premissions, while both PC users are in the Administartion group. The 1st PC with the printer attach to the USB port is using a beta Vista driver from Brother - this works. When adding the printer to the 2nd PC using \\ComputerName\PrinterName, I get the error. |
