How to share printers between Vista and XP
I have three PC's. XP Home, XP Pro, and Vista Ultimate.
XP Home has an HP 952c connected via USB
XP Pro has an HP d145 connected via USB
Vista needs to share both
XP Home/952c has a different login than XP Pro or Vista
XP Pro and Vista have the same login
I can share the printer on the XP Pro with Vista
I cannot share the printer on the XP Home PC because the login is different
Put the same login ID/Password on each XP PC that has a printer you want to
share through Vista that you use on Vista.
Log in to the XP computer so the share is active
In Vista Windows Explorer browse to Networks and find the shared printer on
the XP PC. Right-click that printer and click on Connect
Wait.
The printer should install and you should now have the printer listed in
Vista/Control Panel/Printers
Shades of Windows 2000.
