My home PC had XP Media (SP2) and I just upgraded to VISTA. Prior to the
upgrade i was able to print from my work laptop thru wireless connection.
Now after the upgrade to VISTA I can see the printer connected to my home pc
but get access denied. Using a D-Link DI524 router.
 
Do you have the same username in both computers? Or what's the system error if using net use \\homepcipaddress?

Did two things open the guest account and did the net use \\ipaddress. Able
to print evenon the printer gui it shows the printer in question as access
denied.
 
Do you receive the system error if using net view \\remoteipaddress? If not, does the command display all sharing?

Jim, I am not an expert but am having similar problems and learned a few
things. First, here is my situation. I have a desktop with XP and in
January I bought a laptop with XP. I set up a wireless network and printed
OK to my hp officejet 6210 all in one after I installed the officejet driver
on my laptop. Then I upgraded the laptop to Vista and can no longer print.
Here is what I learned. The Vista upgrade required that I install a driver
for the officejet that is compatable with Vista. I did that so I now can plug
the officejet into the laptop and print OK but the XP driver and the Vista
driver for this particular printer will not network and there is no solution
except to buy another printer.

I'm having the same problem as Konocti with a Lexmark X83 hooked up to my
desktop running XP while my new laptop runs Vista. My solution is to e-mail
whatever I want to prinbt to myself and print from the desktop or transfer to
a USB drive and print from that on the desktop.
 
My god, the only solution is to either connect my laptop to the printer or
start emailing myself what I want to print? I even installed the stupid Vista
driver for my HP C400 series all in one and still it won't let me print
wirelessly. Perhaps someone should have thought about backwards compatibility
a bit before releasing this memory/battery hogging nonsense.
