I have a laptop running Vista Business 32-bit version, a PC running XP pro
and an HP PSC 750 printer hooked up to the xp machine and networked to the
vista laptop.

The Vista machine can see the printer but when I try to print nothing
happens, no warnings or anything, the print job seems to dissapear.

I have tried the trick where you set up the printer on the Vista machine as
a local printer then change the port to \\computer name\printer name but when
I click on the ok button to add the port access is denied.
I have administrator privlidges on both machines, if that makes any
diffrence, but I stll can't print to the networked printer.

Please help me.
Thank you very much for any advise.

You can try setting it up as local on lpt 2 or 3 and
using cmd with "net use lpt3 \\computer\printer"

Worked for me,

This solution also worked great for me. After words, I right clicked on
computer, selected properities, and selected Advanced system settings. From
the System Properties window, select Environment Variables tab and enter the
net use command in either the user or system window which ever best fits your
situation.
