Re: Dell 940 Printer won't print with Vista Laptop but XP desktop ok



You may try to install the printer locally and then remap it as network printer. This search result may help.

I'm new to these posts and don't know how to navigate to read responses.
Anyway, I have a XP desktop with a Dell 940 all in one printer connected
to it. Works fine. Then I have shared my Toshiba Vista Laptop (I have a
wireless router). The Laptop recognizes the printer, all drivers
installed, print jobs show up but then printer doesn't print. Even
trying to connect printer directly to laptop still doesn't let printer
print the job.
I'm exhausted from trying different things. Can someone tell me in
Plain English what to do????? THANKS
