Re: Vista Printer sharing XP
Oops,
I forgot to ask, what Operating system does the Compaq use?
IF it is Vista,
there should be a Install driver button when you get the message
that it needs drivers.
IF it is not Vista and is Win NT or 2000 etc
Use the advice I gave below.

Re: Vista Printer sharing XP
I have experinced the same problem. I have a home network sharing a HP
Officejet G85 printer. The printer is connected to a stationary computer
running Windows XP. I have other computers on the network running Win XP
without problems. My new laptop is running Win Vista but I am not able to
printout.
When trying to print out a test page I can see that the printer cew on the
host computer is receiving the document, but then it disappears from the cew
without being printed. Does anybody have an advice on how to solve the
problem? Must I install the Win Vista driver for the printer on the Win XP
computer? Is that possible?
Thank you in advance
