Printer sharing XP and Vista

[Guest]

Hello,
I have 3 computers, one with Vista Ultimate and 2 with XP. My question is
if I have a printer connected to one of the XP machines can I share this
printer with the Vista machine? Right now the printer is connected to othe
Vista machine and they are all connected to a router but I have not started
file sharing or anything like that.
Thanks in advance

Computer running Windows Vista and XP are perfectly capable of sharing network
resources - files and printers.

But do yourself a favour, and get file sharing working before tackling printer
sharing.

So, there's no way to connect without becoming a LAN expert? The security
settings seem like overkill and I thought, with experience in adding
computers for years to an XP network, that it could be done easily with a
Vista laptop.
