My wireless network contains pc machines, a mix of laptops and desktops totalling 7 machines. Two desktops and two laptops are running Vista, all others are running XP SP2.
The issue is an XP laptop “seeing” a shared printer on a Vista desktop.
1. The printer is properly shared. Other laptops can access it.
2. Windows Firewall is opened to sharing printers
3. Drivers for x86 are loaded in Vista to enable the XP machines
One laptop can add a printer in Administrator account, but it does not show up in the Limited account. Attempting to add this printer in the Limited Account doesn’t work as the printer isn’t visible in Add Printers, but other printers on the same desktop are visible to the XP laptop.
I just reformatted and reloaded XP on this laptop and cannot remember how I resolved this problem before. Ideas?
Thanks all,
Chad
