Network gets lost between XP and 7
At home, my Windows XP Pro computer has a shared printer. The other
computer in the house runs Windows 7 (probably Home Premium or something). About once a day, when the Windows 7 printer wants to print to the XP printer, the print job gets stuck in the queue. The solution is to go to the XP computer, open Network Places and then View Workgroup Computers. The Windows 7 computer usually shows up there. After I double-click on the Windows 7 computer, all of the queued print jobs start printing. Does anyone have any ideas how to keep the XP computer and the Windows 7 computer aware of each other? I know that I have set the XP computer to be a browse master since it's always on, and I was hoping that would help, but it hasn't. Is the Computer Browser service even relevant these days? Thanks.
