I am having exactly the same issue with a virtually identical setup. My main
PC is currently running XP Pro SP2 (will run the update to Vista Business x32
when I get round to it - lol, only got the upgrade CD about 6 months ago
now!) with the HP printer plugged into it and shared. I am trying to prit to
the HP printer wirelesly via my laptop running VIsta Home Premium but it will
not print and when I try and open printing preferences the screen just
flashes up and dissapears.
The wireless router is a Buffalo WHR-G54S if that helps.
I am currently bidding on a HP Jetdirect 175x so hopefully that may help.
Any help greatly appreciated
