Problems with printer sharing between XP and Vista

Expand Post »
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?
