Vista to Vista networked printer problem

[rtietjen]

Have two machine both installed with Vista Home Premium. On Desktop
have an HP Officejet 6110 printer shared. Attempting to print from a
Laptop via the shared printer using the name, not IP. When I first add
the printer, I am able to print. When I reboot and try to print again,
the print que times out and I am not able to print.

I have done the basics, made certain that both firewalls are not
preventing the issue. I am using the default firewall on both machines
with Avast home for the virus protection. Verifed that the correct
driver is installed on both machines as well. It is frustrating that I
can print after adding the printer, but cannot after that.

Any thoughts and helpm would be appreciated.

Thank you,
rtietjen

The above link is vista file and printer sharing info from Microsoft.

Mick,
I appreciate the link, but I have already followed the steps
mentioned in this article. I can browse to the computer and see the
share. The issue is, I am able to print ONLY right after adding the
printer. After a reboot the print job just times out and does not
print.

Thanks,
