I created a local port and added the printer, which is attached via
USB, from my desktop (XP) to my laptop (Vista) using a WiFi network
with only two computers.

The problem is that whenever I set the shared printer as the default on
my laptop, it doesn't stay the default. Vista seems to prefer Windows
XPS Document Writer.

How can I get it to stay the system default on my laptop?

TIA

I may need to clarify. The printer is attached to the desktop with a
USB hookup. It is set as a printer on my laptop using the WiFi
network.

Have you installed the Printer's vista compatible driver in your laptop?

I'm not sure. My model of printer didn't come up on the list of
printers, so I used the CD -- obviously created pre-Vista.

I'll check the Samsung website.
