Vista and XP

Yes - I have XP and Vista as dual boot on a computer networked (crossover
cable) with another XP computer - networking and ICS working great!!

I have an XP Home system connected to my laptop running Vista.

I have had trouble with printer sharing (can't print from the Vista machine)
but file sharing is doing fine. I have a router so I don't know about ICS.
 >> Stay informed about: Vista and XP 

To "BigK" - I print from Vista to a HP 3740 connected directly to Vista
computer and to a HP 1310 connected to a network XP computer
Setting up the network printer went something like this: Set printer via XP
for sharing - gave share name hp1310 then:
1. Add printer via Vista
2. Select Network printer (Printer attached to
another computer)
3. Used the UNC path to the printer - in my case
\\roco-pro\hp1310
4. OK

I've tried this method with my Epson Stylus Photo 895 attached to a Windows
XP Pro workstation but Vista x64 just asks for drivers because they aren't on
the XP Pro machine.

The problem is, the drivers are only available on the Vista install CD and I
can't find them.

I've tried connecting the printer to the Vista x64 machine but face similar
problems from the XP Pro machine.

It's driving me nuts!! :-/

To share printers across a network between Vista x64 and any other operating
system do the following.

Vista
------
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Hardware and Sound >> Printers
Click on Add a printer
Select Add a local printer
Create a new port >> Local Port >> Click on Next
Enter the port name for the network printer (i.e. \\Computer Name\Printer
Name)
Select the printer from the list
Continue until the printer is installed.

Other operating systems
----------------------------
Find the Add printer wizard and do exactly the same method as for Vista.

With any luck your printer will already have printer drivers included with
Vista and obtaining drivers for other operating systems if they are missing
should not be a problem.

I am having around the same problem... but with a twist...

I have an XP Pro computer that my g/f uses, and mine, which runs vista...

The XP machine has two user names, both admins. One name is hers, the other
mine. MY name on the XP machine can access everything on my vista. Her name
how ever, get the access denied every time i try to open two particular
drives ( E and F, same hard drive, sep partitions)

I find it odd that one name on the computer can access it, while the other
one cannot. I have password protection off, and dont get any window for the
password...

why would i have problems with one name and not the other?
