Home network - Printer access denied from Vista PC to XP PC

[Guest]

I have a Laptop with Vista and connection to an XP(he) workstation via a
wireless router. I have shared the XP's "my documents" folder and can write
and save to it. I've shared the printer, added the Vista user to the XP
system, and when trying to add the printer to the Vista PC, I get an error
message "Access Denied".

Note. I can see the printer via the "add printer wizard." I've turned off
the firewall
settings on the Vista PC.

What can I do to get the Vista PC to connect to the printer connected to the
XP PC?

Thanks.

Bill

I have the same problem with a printer hanging of an XP Home system (assume
your (he) meant Home Edition). Can't print to it from Vista Ulitmate. I get
the same error: access denied. If I hang the same printer off an XP Pro
system I have no problem printing to the printer.

it sounds like a driver problem
