XP/Vista Network Printing

[Guest JohnD]

I have one Vista PC on my network and it has a printer attached.

 

How can I make the XP machines see it and print to it?

Set up file/printer sharing on your network. Share the printer out from the

Vista machine. Install the printer drivers on the XP machines.

 

Excellent, thorough, yet easy to understand article about File/Printer

Sharing in Vista. Includes details about sharing printers as well as files

and folders:
