I'll assume that all PCs are in the same workgroup. Rather than using the
"run\\computer" method from your Vista PC, have you run through the "Add
Printer Wizard"? If not, give that a go and post back.

I do not know how or where to look for the system event log entries.
please advise. The error comes up in a small box, with a little yellow
triangle with an exclamation point in it, and the message is "Failure to

Thanks

Tim,
I have a home network set up which has cable internet coming into
the
house to the cable modem, and that then runs to our router. To the
router
I
have one computer connected with a cable, and our printer is connected
to
that computer. That computer is running XP Home edition. There are
three
other computers all running XP Home that connect wirelessly to the
router
and
can connect to that computer by "run \\computer" then connecting to
the
printer. They all can print fine. My computer is running "Vista
Basic'. I
can
connect to any of the computers in the network including the one the
printer
is connected to, by "run\\computer name" I can open the print queue
and
even
see when there are documents in the queue being printed from any of
the
other
computers. The printer is an HP 840c. I have installed an updated
driver
on
both the computer the printer is connected to, and also I installed it
on
mine. Once the printer is found by "run\\computer, from my computer,
and
I
connect to it on my computer, I can even select it from the drop down
menu
when wanting to print a document, but as soon as I press start I get
an
error
message that the document failed to print. I have tried to print from
Word,
Word Pad, Notepad, Notepad2, and Notepad++ They all return the same
error
message.
Thanks, Gary

Yes, it *should* be able to. Please provide more details regarding
the
make/model of the hardware involved and what you have already tried.
It
would save time and perhaps solve the problem quicker.

I get the same error message if I attempt to print from. MS Word,
Wordpad, Notepad, Notepad2 (Replacement for Notepad) or Notepad++ (also a
replacement) I ran the print wizard as Tim suggested and it did not help. So
I uninstalled the printer from the host computer, and re-installed it and it
was able to print the test page. Thnaks for you advise.

Ed Isenberg said:I continue to have trouble with this type of situation. I have a Samsung
CLP-510 attached to an XP SP2 computer. I have already tried attaching the
printer directly to the Vista machine and installing the Vista drivers
successfully. I then reattached the printer to the XP machine and tried
attaching the Vista machine to the printer over the network, but it
uninstalled the Vista driver and dragged the XP driver over to the Vista
machine, which won't work.
I have also tried installing the Vista drivers on the XP machine as an
Additional Driver. Unfortunately you can't specify a directory under XP
SP2.
I tried running the Vista drivers using the setup program but of course
that
errored out because it recognized it was the wrong driver. Finally I tried
copying the Vista drivers to the directory on the XP machine where the XP
drivers resided, but still wasn't able to install the Vista Drivers under
"Additional Drivers" for that printer.
I am completely stumped on this.
