Problems with printer sharing between XP and Vista
 |
Hello all,
I am having problems with printer/file sharing in Vista. I have a desktop with XP installed and connected to two shared printers. I upgraded my laptop to Vista and now I can't get it to recognze anything else on the network.
A couple of basic guidelines:
1) Yes, both computers are in the same workgroup
2) Yes, printer and file sharing is enabled on both machines
I had no problems with this when both machines ran XP. I could print and share files both wired and wirelessley.
Any suggestions?
