nitroshift Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Remember that Vista has a brand new stack of network protocols, including the new version 6 of tcp/ip. Make sure that you disabled the tcp/ip v6.0 under your network connection properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentalindustrie Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Have tried removing IPv6 still doesn't workI can browse save and read files on the computer with the printers so i can establish a connection fine.is it possibly drivers?

fizban2 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 so how do you have this printer shared? is it just shared printer or do you have it set to a TCP/IP port for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentalindustrie Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Its on an xp pro machine connected with LPT cable. I then just right click on the printer and selected share printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
