RE: Printing issues from XP Pro laptop to Vista Home Premium PC

I don't know what I did, but it is working now. I made sure user names are
the same for all PCs in the network. I don't have passwords enabled. I made
sure the public folder on the Vista machine was visible from all PCs. For
some reason, the network printer was then visible from the laptop. Not sure
what I did that made it work.
