Re: Cant find Printer Through a Linksys Router.

Is it set up as a shared printer on your XP system?

Re: Cant find Printer Through a Linksys Router.

Make sure you are in the same workgroup. XP defaults to MSHOME and Vista
defaults to something else I cant think of at the moment. Set your Vista
workgroup to whatever the XP machine is set at.
