WLAN Printing via Desktop (USB) connected printer   
Hi. How can I get a document on my Vista Business laptop to print on the 
Epson Stylus Photo R200 printer connected by USB to my desktop running 
Windows 2000 SP4?

I have attached to the desktop \\isss\EPSON (shared printer) on a 
virtual USB port, the printers window shows the document spooling, but 
the printer does not print anything.

I have the Epson print drivers installed on both machines. People tell 
me it is possible to print this way, but it does not work. Why?

Hi
You have to share the printer on Win2000, and install the printer drivers 
via add a network printer on Vista.

Thanks Jack. I get "Printer driver was not installed. Operation could 
not be completed (error 0xe0000216) OK" Not OK but we know what OK means 
here.

Same owner, different name: I have shared the Epson printer on W2K SP4
machine. I have tried to install the correct printer driver on Vista,
but I received the above message during the installation. I have e-
mailed Epson to find a driver for Vista.

Re: WLAN Printing via Desktop (USB) connected printer   
are you sure you have the right vista drivers for that printer? even if the 
printer is on win2000, you'll still need vista print drivers for your 
particular model printer. I have an Epson Stylus CX7400 connected via USB to 
my XP machine in my basement. When I wanted to use that printer with my 
laptop (which has vista), i went to epson's website and downloaded the vista 
drivers for that printer and installed them....i don't remember if the 
drivers asked me where the printer was...i probably ignored it and made it 
install anyway. then i connected to the printer over the network and it 
worked flawlessly.

it's possible you're trying to use the drivers the network machine is giving 
you..or you're forcing it to...which won't work.

Re: WLAN Printing via Desktop (USB) connected printer   
Thanks Jay. I am sure I do have the right Vista drivers. I connected the 
USB device directly to the laptop to ensure that Vista instlled the 
correct drivers.

Nothing is simple with Vista, least of all printing via WLAN to an Epson 
Stylus Photo R200 connected by USB to a desktop PC running Windows 2000 
SP4! I connected the USB to my Vista laptop to get the drivers 
installed, then changed the port to the USB on the desktop, tried to 
print, but it would not do it.

If anyone knows what I am going thru, and has the solution, please write 
to this group as I will be watching it carefully ...

Hi Jay, thanks for your input. Yes, I am using the Microsoft driver
supplied for the Epson Stylus Photo R200 printer. I connected the
printer directly to the Vista laptop and got Vista to install the
right drivers (even though Epson say they do not have drivers for
Vista Business 32 for that OLD printer). I have tried printing again
but it still doesn't go through. Guess I have to add something to the
router. Is there any additional code like TCP:445 that allows printing
via the WLAN?
