Printing is not working?

Posted: 03-31-2007, 01:40 PM
Hi,

From the Vista i can see and access the other PC and copying files from tthe
Vista vice versa.

When i try to print a document on the other PC from the Vista it doesn't
work.

PS: the printer is not yet active on the Vista because the related drive is
not yet available for Vista

Regards
Huib

You need to wait until a printer driver is available for Vista. Then you
can install the drivers on your Vista machine. Contact the printer mftr.
or check on their website for updated drivers, workarounds, etc.

Hi,
After looking further the driver was on the PC and i could install the
printer.
Unfortunatly my printer has a parallell connection so i can not test out the
connection Vista printer.

Nevertheless i thought that after sharing and the printer i should be
possible to print/
I performed and installing the networkprinter (seen on the other PC) but i
received an error 0x00000866

Hi, I have the same problem, in Vista home network getting error 0x00000866.
I can see the printer on the other (Win98SE) PC, I can share folders and
files,
but stiil not the printer. This all worked few days ago on XP.
Huib did you get a solution?
