shared printer "Access Denied"
I have a Desk system running XP with a Canon MP810 shared, which i was able
to connect to from a laptop also running XP. I have replaced that laptop with a new one running Vista Premium. From the new laptop I can access shared files on the desk system, and the shared printer is visible from the laptop, but I always get the "access denied" message when trying to connect. I also have Norton Network Security 2007 running on both systems, with each system trusting the other by listing their MAC addresses as trusted in the firewall settings. I get the "Access denied" message even when the firewall and intrusion protection options are turned OFF on both systems, so I think it is not the firewall. Open to suggestions. |

shared printer "Access Denied"
From the Vista machine open a command window and view the directory
structure on the XP machine dir \\XPmachine\print$ you should get a list of the directory structures for the shared printer driver files. If you get access denied it's a network authentication issue. Here are some details on sharing in Vista, although I think the problem is on the XP machine. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
