Printer Sharing - Seen but not working
Environment:Desktop PC running Windows 7 has an attached HP4260 DeskjetLaptop running Vista Home Premiumfrom laptop I can "see" the printer. I can send a print job from Word, and I see it getting into the queue and spooling. The problem is it spools for about 5 minutes, then deletes itself and never prints.I can print directly from either machine, just not over my home network.Thanks,Ron

Your permissions are not being set right because the Vista machine is using a type of "Homegroup" that cannot join a Win 7 Homegroup. I suggest changing the setting in the Win 7 machine to a "Work network". You may then need to change the workgroup membership of the Vista machine to that workgroup name also.Rating posts helps other users Mark L. Ferguson MS-MVP

Im not sure about answer. I have same problem but instead I have 2 printers one works properly in network and the oher not, I think should be a drivers issue, because when I tried to install driver was not installed properly.Buena Suerte! blog: http://hespinosamedina.spaces.live.com/blog/ Si las respuestas te son de utilidad marcalas como buenas!
