HP printer drivers

[Guest]

1. Installed HP DeskJet 5150 on Athlon computer System using X86 Vista..

2. Printer worked fine with this computer.. But would not print from
network computers... (all windows XP)..

3. Installed Deskjet 5150 on another XP machine. And after some fiddling
around.. Windows Vista computer is printing to the 5150 on the XP machine...

Question???

Any suggestions on making the Vista machine the printer server machine.

How did you get to print on the printer connected to an XP machine from the
Vista machine? I can't get it to print. It looks like everything is normal on
the screen, but nothing ever prints. I don't get any errors, it just doesn't
print. Thanks.

1. I uninstalled all HP drivers and Printers from both machines...

2. I re-installed a new HP driver on the XP machine from the internet..

3. Once the new driver was instaled on the XP machine. I restarted the
Vista machine and it installed a driver for the 5150 from Vista. (Don't know
which driver it was. I didn't think there was a 5150 driver loaded with
Vista) and tried to print to the XP . It would not print. Something about
the spooling .

4. I then restarted the Vista machine and tried to print a test page.. It
would not print..

5. Typed a silly sentence in Wordpad and tried to print. And it works..

6. There must be a computer God.
