Re: Problem with sharing a printer in VISTA

I assume you did not only set file and print sharing on but also did start-control panel-classic view-printers-run as administrator-properties-sharing tab and enabled the sharing (this on PC) noted the pcname and printersharename and on the laptop start-control panel-classic view-printers-right click on blank area-run as administrator-add printer then performed the add local printer?

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.
