We have vista on both desktop (office-pc) and wireless laptop (daniel-pc) and
a canon mp830 connected to the desktop pc.
Desktop has macafee with firewall off and laptop had pc-cillin with firewall
off
Both machines have identical sharing & discovery settings (no passwords),
and the printer is shared.
Both pc's see the other's files and printer. I plugged the MP830 into the
laptop and let vista install the drivers.
When the printer is connected to the desktop pc, and I try to connect from
the laptop, I get the 0x00000012 error. I then followed the advice in this
forum and tried to create a local port on the laptop printer as
\\office-pc\Canon830 and I get 'access denied'.
Now, here's the thing, I plugged the printer into the laptop and tried to
connect to it from the desktop. I clicked START, NETWORK, Daniel-pc and then
right clicked the printer and clicked connect and IT DID. I then printed a
document from the desktop to the printer connected to the laptop.
Next i uninstalled the printer from the desktop and then plugged it back in
and let vista install the drivers as I had the laptop, thinking that perhaps
there was a snag in the Canon software. I also downloaded the vista driver
from Canon as I had done for the laptop.
But when I tried to connect the desktop printer from the laptop, I once
again got the 0X00000012 error.
I've been round and round with this for a week and i must be missing some
little thing. Can anyone help??
Thanks,
Dan
