Vista - Connecting to a network printer with Vista

10-02-2007

Using a new PC with Vista, I have added a printer locally, then added it
again as a network printer to bypass the UAC restrictions. This seemed to
install correctly but unfortunately the printer still will not print. It is
connected to a PC running Windows 2000, file and print sharing are enabled.
The printer appears in the network connections folder. Is there some feature
that is still being overlooked at this point?
please advise, thank you.
