Default Vista laptop cannot connect to XP desktop printer

I can now access my desktop xp folders from my vista laptop. The only
problem now is that from the vista laptop I cannot print on the xp's printer.
I can see the printers when I check the network window from my vista
computer, but when I click "connect," I get an error msg about spoolers not
working. I have spent hours, but cannot figure it out!
Help!
