NLocal Printer vista and XP sharing
i have my printer connected to my PC, it is an XP computer. I want to allow
my other PC to share the printer. It is a newer Vista (operating sys) PC. When I go to 'sharing' it asks for additional drivers, if different from main PC. It doesn't list the new Vista operating system. What do I do? The PC's are in different rooms and I want the printer to be close to the XP PC. |

NLocal Printer vista and XP sharing
Providing the printer does indeed have Vista drivers (from the printer
manufacturer's website) you can use http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx as the instructions to work through to share the printer from the XP PC to the Vista PC. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "chats72" wrote in message ... i have my printer connected to my PC, it is an XP computer.
