Vista v. XP Printer “Access Denied”???

by brian . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

I am running Vista Home Premium on a Fujitsu Life Book Laptop (AMD Turion) and cannot access one of the shared printers on my Belkin wireless network. It just so happens to be the Canon i850 connected to my desktop A Compaq running XP). I have the latest drivers, can use the printer with the USB of my laptop, but each time I try to access the shared printer wirelessly I get an error message, “Cannot Connect To Printer, Access is Denied” I have checked all the user settings (guest accounts, etc.) have turned off all anti-virus and firewalls, and nothing seems to help. Incidentally, I CAN access two other Canon printers and an Epson that are connected to other computers in my workgroup, just not the one connected to MINE… Don’t know if this is related, but my laptop won’t connect to my Palm Treo Smartphoone either using Windows Mobile Device Center…. I’ll save that one for later, unless somehow they are llinked…. HELP!!
