I have Vista on the laptop, and XP home on the PC. The printer is on the PC.

I can see all my files from pc to lappy, and lappy to PC. I can see my
printer, made sure its set to sharing, made sure its set to default, yet I
can't print from the lappy to the printer.

I've done troubleshooters and one said to install the printer drivers but
when the drivers try and talk to the printer there is no communication, which
is what happens when I try and print from the lappy to the printer.

If anyone can explain in laymans terms, I'd be very grateful.
 
On the Vista Machine - Check in Control Panel - Select Network & Sharing
Centre that Printer Sharing is "On"
