Ponch Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) You're not very clear about what the problem is. "the B installed the sharing printer and setup one" is not really understandable. Could you even set it up as printer ? Could you print a test page at the end of setup? What's the error message if any ? Is it setup as local or remote/network printer ?

Ponch Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Does the document come in the queue on comp B (as you say the printer is installed) ? What status does the document/printer appear ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi2k6 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Try this:1. Make sure turn on Files & Printers SHARE on both A & B.2. Turn off Firewall or open port on your LAN in windows firewall exeptions.3. Change workgroup on both A & B as the same domain name: (example: workgroup) or you can use Network ID wizard, Vista will helps you to enable share File & Printer.4. Ping your from B to A. (start - run - type: cmd then type ping A local IP (example A IP: ping 192.168.1.10), if you getting all reply means B contact A direct connection.5. Reboot A+B and unshare/re-share A printer again to see if it works.Simple way to share from WinXP (just enable Use Simple File Sharing) Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> checkmark at the very bottom.
