I have successfully installed a printer on Vista64 Ultimate. I now want
to share the printer with other machiens on the network using XP. I have
shared the printer in Vista, but when I search for a network printer
from the XP machine, I don't see it!

Please help!

Thanks In Advance

Thanks for the response - I can and do connect easily with the Vista
shared folders. I have shared them with the Everyone option.

When browsing for a printer from the XP machine, (in add network
printer) I can see the Vista machine name, but no printer listed below
it!

Please help!

Double click on the machine name and see if the printer appears. It did
for me yesterday when I found the same thing.
