Re: Problem with sharing a printer in VISTA

I have a PC and a laptop in a wireless homenetwrok. the PC is directly
connected to the router and to a printer. and the laptop is connected by
wireless connection. I set file and printing on. I can share files easly,
but when I try to share the printer it says "not enugh memory". I tried to
set it as a local port ("\\pcname\printersharename") but it says "access
denied". I'm the admin on both computers.
Both computers are runnig VISTA home premium. The Printer is XEROX
WokStation PE16, and the router is a D-Link router.
PLEASE HELP

Next time please don't multipost. You've already got a thread going with
Jack in the networking newsgroup. Since this is a printer issue, you could
have added a crosspost to this group in your reply to Jack.

Did you install the Vista drivers for this printer on the laptop? Are you
getting the "not enough memory" error on the Desktop or the laptop?

More details, please.
