Hi,
My printer is connected to my new vista machine, and I am trying to set that
up as a shared printer so that I can print from XP.
A few questions.
1. I enabled shared printing from vista, using
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/evaluate/vista_fp.mspx. I wish to
share only the printer, not any folders. But then, when I enable shared
printing folder sharing is also enabled. Is this a bug or a feature? Is there
a way I can share only the printer and not any folders?
2. My XP system is able to locate my computer, but not display the name of
the printer attached to my vista machine. Even if manually type the name in
the "printer" field on the XP shared printer screen, I get an error message
that the printer is not found.
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
