Re: Home network - Printer access denied from Vista PC to XP PC

[Guest JTHoward]

I've been fighting this problem for days. I tried creating a new port

as suggested above by typing "\\computer name\printer name", but Vista

kept saying the port name was invalid. Finally, I tried it again, but

this time I replaced my computer name with the IP address -

"//192.168.2.3/HPOffice" and IT WORKED!!

 

Thank you guys! You really helped me get pointed in the right

direction! I hope my post further helps other. I LOVE THIS FORUM!
