Can anyone help me with the following issue.
I have a home network. My desktop OS is Windows XP, my laptop is Vista. When I try to add a printer from my home network to my lap top a window pops up that says "windows has denied access to this printer.

Please help.

You have nailed one of the problems with Vista right on the head. First you have to have Administrators privledges to do this, try right clicking on the "Add Printer" and when the menu opens click "run as" and then click the dropdown to select Administrator. Then try to install it.
