Sharing Printer with a Mac

[Guest]

My mom had a Windows XP computer with a HP LaserJet connected to it shared
with my iMac, I was able to print to it fine. She just recently upgraded to a
new Windows Vista PC and i am no longer able to print to it. A Windows XP
laptop is able to see and print to it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

correct download in correct machine

Do you have these turned on in Network and Sharing Center (in Control
Panel):

Network discovery
Printer sharing

If not, give that a try.

Thanks,
Gloria

Those functions are enabled. These types of things are why I switched to a Mac.
