I have a printer being shared on a XP Pro network. It shares nicely with
other XP systems (HOME and PRO) on the network. However, when trying to
share it with a Vista Home Premium machine, it can't make a connection. The
Vista system sees it on the network, but can not add it as a printer. Is
there a fix for this other than going to XP on this newly purchased system?
TIA
