Network printer problem
I am trying to use a HP printer over a home network where the printer is
connected directly to a computer with XP Professional. 4 computers that I need to access the printer. 1. One with Vista connected to a router and is able to print. 2. One with Vista wireless through same router and is able to print. 3. One with XP Professional wireless and can't print with the printer. 4. One with Vista wireless and can't print with the printer. With 3 and 4 I get the same error 0x000003eb. I have tried using the printer wizard but the get the same error on both machines. I have tried setting up using IP address, different printer models - which add the printer but can't print. Does anyone have a solution? I don't believe it is the printer causing the problem as everything went fine on the other 2 machines I believe it is something to do with the OS on the other machines. I even used the reovery disks on the Vista machine which didn't help, so I don't think re installing XP on the other will help. thanks of any assistance |

And XP might need a special "add-on" patch for Vista (I'm testing this soon) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 |
