Connecting a Vista machine to a printer shared on an XP machine.

Posted: 05-17-2007, 10:45 PM
I am experiencing the same conditions as many others. I'd like to work
through it with someone if there is anyone who can help. I have a new laptop
with Windows Vista Home Premium.

I have a desktop with Windows XP SR2 with an HP5510 printer connected to it.
All my other XP computers can connect to it and install the printer. The
Vista
machine can see the printer, but will receive an error if I try to connect to
it.

I tried a work around I found which included installing it as a local
printer. This failed also. I tried the dir \\computername\printername
command in a command window and received "not enough server storage is
available to process this command" I believe received this error also when I
tried to install the network printer as a loca printer.

I could use some advise as well. It certainly seems this would be a simple
process to handle, but with all the similar cases floating around the web, it
doesn't appear to be so. Please help if at all possible.

Thanks
