Sharing a printer in XP to Vista

Following this:

'chicagotech.net :: View topic - Solved: Vista print Error 0x00000866'
(http://www.chicagotech.net/netforums...pic.php?t=1263)

1. I have connected the printer to the Notebook USB (Vista)
2. The printer has been installed.

These are the next steps:

-"From a DOS prompt (Type command in the "start search" section of the
start menu) type this:
net use LPT# \\server\printer /persistent:yes
for me this was
net use LPT1 \\hppav\BROTHER_1240 / persistent:yes
substituting for #, server, and printer as appropriate for your
network."-

*On witch computer have I to type this ?
What have I to substitute for # in my case ? Shall I write server ?
Is "printer" my printer name on XP computer ? (In control panel the
name under the icon is "Canon iP4300"). On both computer the workgroop
is CASA_SANDRO. In start, my computer, network the window is enpty in
the notebook.

In the desktop (Win XP) under network, microsoft network, I have
"Casa_sandro". Under Casa_sandro I have Athlon64 (desktop WinXP) and
Pc-Roberta (my daughter notebook).

In the desktp (XP) The complete computer name is Athlon64 (control
panel, Sustem, computer name). In the notebook is PC-Roberta.

In the Network and Sharing Center of the notebook (Vista) I have
Private network, Network discovery On, File sharing On, Publc folder
sharing On, printer sharing On, Password Off, Multimedia off.

I'll be so glad is somebody could tell me step by step what to do in
each computer as I am very confused. I'd try to share the C: hard disk
in the desktop, but the notebook on Vista cannot find it.

1. Most cases, LTP1 should work.
2. to find the out the server name and printer name, on the computer
connecting to the printer run this command: net share. You also use the ip
address, for example: net use LPT1 \\192.168.0.1\Casa_sandro.

Sorry no results. I must say: in Start, Coputer if I click on Network I
get 2 icons "Netgear DG834N Router" and "PC-ROBERTA" that is the
notebook itself. I do not have "CASA_SANDRO" or "Athlon64", that I can
see in network of the destop (Win XP) where the printer is shared. I
have shared a folder too, but the notebook cannot find it. The firwall
seems ok (exception on share files and priters). I have added the
printer as local printer on the notebook, but the remapping doesn't
work: Prompt as administrator, net use LPT1 \\Athlon64\CanoniP4300
/persistent:yes. The answer is: sistem error 66. Mistaken kind of
network resource. Then I only get a copy of the printer installed
locally, that doen't send to the printer. In printer propieties, ports I
find checked the LPT1 Port and the printer is "CanoniP4300(Copia 1).
Canon iP4300".

Hi to all who may help

cheking in the Norton 360 setup, I found many items in firewall rules
I did allow all the exceptions except the Microsoft Windows 2000 SM
and, incedible, the notebook could find the printer. Really I did no
know that norton 360 has the firewall

Thank you to every body

Ciao, Alessandro
