Thanks for all your help so far.
Another thing that is bothering me.
When I click on "status" in the "Maintenance" tab, I get a message:
"Printer status cannot be displayed with port that is currently running."
The printer is turned on, so shouldn't its status be available? I've tried
a lot of port combinations, but nothing seems to be working.
If you can provide additional advice and counsel about this problem, I'd
be very grateful.
On which machine do you get this error message? If on the XP "host" machine,
uninstall/reinstall your printer. If on the Vista machine, did you in fact
ever install Vista drivers for it?
Again, you need to set up LAN file/printer sharing correctly before you can
print from the Vista machine to a printer connected to another computer on
the LAN.
