Anybody know of any issues sharing a USB printer on a peer-to-peer LAN
in a mostly XP environment (with one Vista computer.)

attached to is off. ;-)
I'm working on a network for a client that has a Xerox Phaser and
Samsung ML-1740 laser printer both USB connected; they can be shared but
cannot be connected to. However another computer on the LAN has a
Cannon printer on a LPT port that all computers on the network can print
to. These 2 printers show as on line but when I try to print a test
page from properties, I get an error the test page could not be sent. I
can check the print queue but nothing gets that far.
I've done all the usual troubleshooting and cleaned up the temp files. I
was hoping the problem would be a bi-directional setting in the driver
like on the old desk jet printers (but no luck there.) I can't find any
useful article in the MS KB and even less on the Samsung and Xerox
support sites.
To start with there was a rights issue which I have resolved but this
connectivity problem has me stumped.

workstations with the printer CD and then connecting.
