I have two PCs installed with Vista Home Premium, I'm trying to share a
Brother ALL-In-One printer. The printer is plugged into a USB port and marked
as shared in the printer properties in the first PC. Both PC are on the same
workgroup. When I try to access the printer from the second PC it says I
don't have the correct premissions, while both PC users are in the
Administartion group.

The 1st PC with the printer attach to the USB port is using a beta Vista
driver from Brother - this works.
When adding the printer to the 2nd PC using \\ComputerName\PrinterName, I
get the error.
