Shared printer problem

I have a small network consisting of a desktop running XP Pro, a Compaq
notebook running Vista Home Basic, and an HP notebook running Vista Home
Premium. The shared printer is connected to the desktop. The Compaq notebook
prints properly. However, when the HP notebook documents are printed, the
font is backwards or mirror imaged regardless of what program is used. The
only thing that fixed it so far is that I had to turn off the print spooling,
which bogs things down a bit. Has anyone experienced this problem or have a
better fix ? The Compaq prints OK regardless of the print spooling setting.

I am having the exact same problem. I have a desktop running XP Pro with a
shared printer (HP DJ3475). When I print using my Acer computer running
Vista Premium, it prints backwards and in the center of the page (centered
horizontally and vertically), this also varies on what app I am printing
from. I found your post and tried turning off the spooler and that fixes the
problem. All of my other computers (all running XP) print just fine. This
is the only solution I have heard of.

I R&R'd my printer, and that seemed to fix it.
