Cannot print to XP shared printer from Vista
because there are 2 different operating systems in use you need 2 different sets of drivers, go to your printers website and download the vista drivers for that printer and install it on your vista machine. depending on weather this is automatic or not you may need to search for updated drivers for your printer; go to control pannel > printers and faxes > (your remote printer) > properties > advanced tab > new driver > next > have disk > then direct it to your printer setup files (either somewhere in program files or in c:/(printer make)) or if that dosent work C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers
hope that helpz |
