Just bought a cpu with Vista on it, I can print from that computer, but I
can't print anything from my other 2 computers that have XP on them.
Everything is on wireless. New computer is a HP Pavillion s7700n, the second
is a HP compaq & the 3rd is a Toshiba laptop. Before I bought the new
computer with Vista I had no problems with printing from all 3 computers.
How do I get the 2 older computers to print, I sure don't want to change to
Vista on them! Thanks

The first thing you must do is get the network configured correctly.....
please ask in the networking newsgroup:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing

Ensure you include all details such as the O/S that the other PCs are
running.
