Access Denied when trying to connect printers shared from XP Computer

I keep getting Access denied when trying to connect my new vista computer to
xp printer through wireless network. I can see the printer but get Access
denied error. Please help.

Check the permissions for the printer - it not just have to be shared out,
but it should have the proper permissions for you to connect to it.

Hi ***,

To add to Yuriy's suggestion, here's some information about printer
permissions that might help:

I also found this post which describes a way to add printer drivers to your
Vista PC. It seemed to work for the same situation that you describe. Hope
this helps:
