access denied when attempting to connect to a shared printer
I have a Windows Vista client trying to connect to a Windows 7 Premium computer that is sharing a printer... i can see the shared printer hanging of the windows 7 computer in the workgroup, but when i double click, im prompted for credentials, so i type the windows7computername\administrator and the local administrator password (of the windows7 machine), then i get access denied. I have the firewall turned off, also have Everyone access to the printer... any ideas?.... Thanks r davis
