Network printing problem

[Guest]

I know the question has been asked and answered several times already but
I have a new twist on it.
I have 5 computers networked together in my house. This is my configuration.
1st computer-Windows XP home desktop with HP 6110xi printer attached via
usb cable. Hard wired to the router. Print and file sharing allowed
2nd computer-Windows XP home desktop hard wired to the router with file
sharing allowed. No problems accessing any computer or printer.
3rd computer- Windows XP home laptop wirelessly connected to the network
with file sharing allowed. No problems accessing any computer or printer.
4th computer- Windows XP home desktop wirelessly connected to the network
with a HP722c attached via LTP port. File and printer sharing allowed. No
problems accessing any computer or printer.
This is the problem.
5th computer- Windows Vista Home Premium laptop with a printer attached
via usb. Sharing Discovery on. Print sharing on. Correct network and
workgroup. Able to see all computers and printers. Able to print to computer
4s HP722c. Unable to connect to HP 6110xi. Message recieved is access denied.
Correct driver installed per HPs website. Correct printer name and location
listed in available printers. If I hook it up directly to the 6110 via usb,
it works fine. Any suggestions?

Good job of describing your LAN, a lot of folks asking for help here could learn
from your problem report.

I'll be facetious here as I describe the complexity of your problem.

You use different drivers when:
# Accessing files (as a client), and when sharing files (as a server).
# Accessing files, and when accessing printers.
# Using a printer locally, and accessing one remotely.
# Accessing a printer under Windows XP, and under Windows Vista.
# Accessing a HP 722c, and a HP 6110xi.

Try installing the HP 6110xi, as a network printer, using Vista printer install
procedure.
