Both machines connected via a home network setup..........
Machine #1:
HP desktop
XP Pro and has a USB HP printer attached
Hardwired to router.
Logged in as admin
Machine #2:
HP Laptop
Running Vista Home Premium
Wireless to router.
Logged in as admin
File and Printer sharing turned on. File sharing works fine.
On machine #2 I can see the printer attached to machine #1 but when I try to map to it it says "access is denied".
What can be the cause of this?
I had the same setup with XP on both machines and it worked fine..........but with Vista it seems like somehow I don't have access to the shared network printer connected to the XP desktop even though I can see it when I search for network printers.
Any suggestions appreciated!
