Can't print on new pc with Vista

I have a new Gateway desktop pc (Pentium D935, 250GB hard drive, 1GB DDR2
memory) just bought it a week ago obviously it has Vista (Home Premium) as
all new pc's do. My problem as is with everyone else: I cannot print. My
network is fine 2 Xp pc's and now mine(Vista). I can see and share everything
but when I try to print I get the dreaded : Access Denied mssg. We have 2
printers on our network (a Brother MFC 7820N and a Canon Pixma ip1500) my
old Xp could print off both not so with the Vista. I have read all and done
everything in newsgroups. Does Microsoft have any type of patch or any other
solution. Also I can't even get my Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 to play on it for
my neighbors daughter to play. Not very happy with Vista at all infact went
back to the place where I bought it to see if they had a new XP machine so I
could return the Vista. Unfortunately I was told no more XP -Vista is
standard on all machines now; very disappointed XP was excellent never had
any problems with XP. Any advice would be appreciated.

With all due respect, your post is a rant rather than a descriptive quest
for a solution.
Access Denied trying to print to you networked printers is simply a
permissions issue. You might want to review your domain/workgroup printing
permissions.
I'm not going to address your "neighbor's daughter's issue" however, the
Vista certified application list can be found here:

With all due respect also I really don't consider my problem a "rant". Sorry
if it offended. But if you read my entire post I explained that I tried all
suggestions in the newsgroups but nothing worked and then I proceded to ask
if there was a patch or other solution offered through Microsoft. And as for
my domain /workgroup printing permissions - that was one of the first things
I checked and all was in order. So any other helpful suggestions would be
most appreciated.
Thanks.

For the game issue, ask in the games NG.
